We're kicking off a new series introducing the volunteers behind the Calvert County Rescue Dive Team!
Our team is made up of individuals from all walks of life, each bringing unique backgrounds, experiences, and skills to our mission. Over the coming weeks, we'll be highlighting members of CCRDT, sharing their stories, what brought them to the team, and what being a volunteer means to them.
First up, meet Mason Goddard!
Mason's passion for diving began at 18 when he took his first open water scuba course. Since then, he's continued developing his skills through additional training and diving experiences across the United States and abroad. Always looking for his next challenge, Mason discovered CCRDT and decided to put his passion for diving toward something greater.
What he didn't expect was just how rewarding the experience would become.
Outside of the Dive Team, Mason is a full-time student at St. Mary's College of Maryland, studying Business and Economics. When he's not studying, working, or training with the team, he enjoys spending time on the water with his family.
When asked about his favorite part of CCRDT, Mason didn't hesitate: the camaraderie.
"Each member has welcomed me aboard not like a 'new guy' but as a friend."
For Mason, being part of the team is about more than diving. It's about learning from experienced members, building friendships, challenging himself, and becoming part of an organization where everyone has an important role.
What does Mason wish more people knew about CCRDT?
That you don't have to be a diver to make a difference.
Whether serving as a public safety diver or a surface support member, every volunteer contributes to the team's mission. CCRDT provides opportunities to develop new skills, build confidence, and grow alongside people who share a commitment to serving their community.
We're proud to have Mason as part of our team and appreciate the dedication he brings to our organization.
And this is just the beginning!
Stay tuned as our Meet the Team series continues. We'll introduce more of the volunteers who dedicate their time, talents, and energy to serving Calvert County. From students and teachers to business owners and professionals, you'll get to know the people behind the gear and discover what brings us together.
