WE ARE TEAM YACKEL!

The love of the underwater world runs deep through each member of the Yackel family. With owner’s and parents John and Katherine having over 30 years of combined experience in diving, it was no surprise that each of their kids picked up the passion for all things water as well; their oldest daughter and her husband first swimmers now divers, their son helping out with the family business, and their youngest studying marine biology in school. 

We cannot wait to experience “Saltwater Therapy” with you!
