OUR OWNERS
Dennis and his wife, Kris, own Neptune, Steep & Deep & the worldwide dive agency MDEA. Dennis started diving in 1956 at the eager age of 12, beginning his love for the sport. He went on to obtain his BS in Biology and MS in Fisheries Biology. In 1970 he tried his hand at snow skiing and found a winter hobby to compliment his love for scuba diving. In 1973 Dennis became a dive instructor and founded the Neptune Equipment Company. He added skiing to the mix in 1976 and Neptune became a full-time occupation for Dennis. Since then, he has worked not only to build his business, but to continue to grow scuba diving, skiing and snowboarding in middle Tennessee and the surrounding region.
