Diving in

Executive: Geoff Young, senior counsel at Trenam Law. Young, 67, has concentrated most of his practice in representing national, regional and community lenders in bank workouts and foreclosures. He is also working on some environmental business projects, including one in sustainable energy and another in sustainable seafood. Young is on the board of American Marine University, which is expected to open next year.

Diversion: Archaeological diving. Young and his wife enjoy diving cenotes, underground water-filled sinkhole caves in the Mayan Yucatán. The couple has gone on more than 30 diving trips with Guillermo “Memo” de Anda, an archaeologist in Mexico they met in 1997. They also sponsor De Anda, who works on the board of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, is a professor at a local university and is frequently featured on National Geographic.

Crystal skull: Young says his wife was always interested in the spirit world, so when they saw a Discovery Channel special on the “Cult of the Crystal Skull,” they were instantly hooked. “We started because she wanted to find a crystal skull,” Young says. “We've been diving like crazy ever since.” Though they haven't found the crystal skull, they have seen carved crystal in one cave, and they've seen many skulls.
