CERTIFICATION: PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor

# Of Dives: 300+

AT PAN AQUA DIVING: I am an Open Water Scuba Instructor  for Pan Aqua, and we all know the amount of work that entails, let’s just say, “I’m very busy, but loving it.” I have done numerous trips with Pan Aqua – Bahamas, Maldives, Cayman Islands, etc.. 

FIRST BREATH ON SCUBA: I was in Jamaica where I saw a scuba diving sign, the guy told me, I can teach you a 3 hour class in twenty minutes (if I only knew what I know now), I did it and was hooked. Two weeks later friends said we're going to the Bahamas, so I thought, “wow, I can do this scuba thing again,” wrong, I got there and they asked me if I was certified and I said “no,” they said I can’t do it...I was bummed but vowed this would never happen again. I got certified the following week!

BEST DIVE EVER: Lembeh ----- all of it! 

FAVORITE CRITTER: Nudibranchs, all of them! The smaller the better!  

WHEN I AM NOT DIVING:  Love riding my bicycle.
