Robby Myers has been diving since 2014, when he was certified through Indiana University’s Center of Under Water Science. He moved to Florida to pursue a career in diving where he worked part-time at an aquarium before joining the staff of Scuba Diving magazine. Robby oversees ScubaLab, the gear testing arm of Scuba Diving. Even outside of ScubaLab’s head-to-head gear testing, his dive kit usually incorporates one or more pieces of the latest gear. Some of his favorite destinations include Galapagos and French Polynesia, but you’ll often find him testing dive equipment in Central Florida’s freshwater springs.
