Owner | Equipment & Service Director | IDC Staff Instructor

Jonas first got a taste for diving on a Discover Scuba Diving trip with his brother in Puerto Rico. He took to it immediately. Shortly after meeting Heather, they both trained in Washington, DC and completed their Open Water Diver certifications in New Zealand. Needless to say, this sealed the deal and he’s been diving and traveling ever since. On dives, Jonas can usually be found with an underwater camera attached to his face, hovering over the reef. He holds a Bachelors in Fine Art and a Masters in Industrial Design with a focus on Design Engineering, hence, Jonas is the go-to guy for equipment maintenance and servicing. Before starting Blue Planet, Jonas managed high-end residential remodeling projects in the DC Metro area, focusing on green building practices.
