Call to Action: Dive!
(and help ETC reduce poverty & protect Thailand’s coral reefs)
by Nick Ascot
Reid Ridgway & ETC;
from Vocational dive school for Tsunami survivors,
to providing guests world-class diving experiences
REID's BIO: Reid Ridgway escaped to Thailand in 2001, where he enjoyed following his twin dreams of teaching scuba diving and freelance journalism after years of successfully branding and marketing in the computer business (with a client list that read like a Who’s Who of Silicon Valley). Then one bright morning in late December 2004, Reid’s life changed dramatically as he witnessed the Tsunami Wave sweep locals and tourists into the sea, some of whom he knew. Reid’s happy-go-lucky attitude evaporated and he was compelled to “Do Something”. Singlehandedly raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, Reid established the ETC to provide practical and leadership training in scuba diving instruction to orphans - some of whom had lost both parents to the wave.
