At the age of 16, William moved to San Diego where he became a deadhead on the sport boat San Diego with Bob Williams, Tom Ebner, and Roy Rose, before joining the crew of Mascot 6 out of H&M Landing where he worked for two years.

Captain Cary started his career in diving in 1980 after finishing his open water training here in San Diego. He spent five years as a dive-guide in the U.S. Virgin islands for several dive operations, later becoming a scientific diver for NOAA. In 1985, he returned to San Diego and worked as a commercial diver and scuba repair technician until taking the helm of local dive charter boats. We hired him in 1994 where his knowledge of scuba diving and spearfishing helped make us one of the best charter operations in Southern California. In 1996, he took a position as scientific diver and dive master at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography but continued assisting as relief Captain on long range trips to Baja California. He returned full-time in 2009 where his knowledge of marine life and diving speaks for itself. Captain Cary also enjoys underwater photography and education.
