CERTIFICATION: PADI Divemaster
# Of Dives: 3000+
AT PAN AQUA DIVING: I serve normal Divemaster duties: aiding students, abetting instructors. I help teach the photography class and teach a Photoshop class.
FIRST BREATH ON SCUBA: It was the mid-1970’s, and there was this girl....
BEST DIVE EVER: Best dives are like the weather, they come as God sends them; each dive a treasure hunt on wrecks, in sand, colorful reefs, or head stuck in the muck – explain to a non-diver what it is like seeing ladybugs underwater. For these reasons, I think my best dive is bound to be my next dive.
WHEN I AM NOT DIVING: I may be found skiing, sailing, or doing whatever my wife and/or cat is telling me to do. Now and then I take some pictures; now and then I do some writing; now and then someone publishes those pictures and writings. When I am doing none of those things or diving, I serve on staff at Beneath the Sea.
