The Divemasters

Ronnie Williams
I live and work in Rock Hill SC and met the crew of Deep South Rivers as a returning customer.  I am Service Manager of Clayton Homes.  I am an experienced PADI certified Divemaster and have enjoyed the sport since 1991.  My favorite dive sites include Bonaire,  Roatan, The Bahamas and especially The Cooper River.  I am also a NSSCDS certified cave diver and enjoy The Florida Caves.  Several of my finds include South Carolina Dispensary Bottles, whole Indian pots, clay trade pipes, beautiful Indian spear points and lots of big big teeth.
