Dive History:

Well, I was certified in 1985 in Bowling Green Ohio! PADI certified, and as soon as I got my basic certification, I went through the Advanced Open Water Certification class. SO, I consider myself a genuine, OHIO MUD diver! I've dove a TON of quarrys, and the Great Lakes. Hey now, the old wrecks around the islands on Lake Erie where sweet! Maybe 20 feet in depth, just below the thermocline, in nice shape! Lots of zebra mussles. That sort of sucks! I've done ice diving, cold, and some deep wreck diving on Lake Superior hitting freighters. When possible, I'd take a jog down to Florida and dive the springs during the winter.

BUT, now I'm local, so life is good!
