CERTIFICATION: PADI Master Instructor

# OF DIVES: 1000+

AT PAN AQUA DIVING: I teach the EFR, O2 and Rescue Diver classes. I was Pan Aqua’s first open water to Instructor student.

FIRST BREATH ON SCUBA: I worked as a lifeguard at Manhattan Plaza Heath Club and would watch Pan Aqua set up for the dive class. I tried snorkeling in the Bahamas and loved it. I went to Beneath the Sea and saw slides from the Cayman Islands and I said I want to do that and I want to go there. I did and more. 

BEST DIVE EVER: I haven’t been there yet. You don’t know what the next dive will bring. 

FAVORITE CRITTER: I enjoy Flamingo Tongues and Indigo Hamlets which you can see throughout most the Caribbean. 

WHEN I AM NOT DIVING:  I work full time as a Bookkeeper on the upper west side.
