In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, Dori worked in Alaskan canneries and on fishing boats unloading the catch. Introduced to commercial diving after meeting John Ritter in 1972, Dori was fascinated to learn about the various jobs and equipment used by divers under the surface. When their 3 daughters were grown, Dori used her background in the maritime industry to open the first and only commercial diving retail store in the Northwest, Pro-Dive Equipment. Now known as Dive Commercial International, Inc., the store specializes in furnishing equipment for the working diver locally, throughout the US, and internationally. Her passion for the industry keeps her on top of the latest news and products. With determination for success, her keen eye is focused on the horizon.

Joney Springberg: Joney has been involved in the diving industry since birth. As children, Joney and her sisters grew up around the campus of Divers Institute of Technology. She worked, during school vacations and holidays, in the supply room at DIT becoming familiar with commercial diving helmets, tools and other equipment. Joney enjoyed the competition and comradery of swim team and also worked for the Seattle Parks Department and North Kitsap Pool as a Lifeguard and Swimming Instructor. She received her SCUBA certification in 1992, worked at Divers Instutute for a while, then followed her heart to art school with the intention of using her skills in the diving community. In 1995 her path led back to the commercial diving industry and she joined DCI. Joney made her first MKV dive in October 2006.
