Dive History:

Started diving in 2000 in Coz. I did an intro to Scuba wit DWM. That little 30 ft dive near the pier was awsome. Beautiful, tiny reefs, micro versions of the great big ocean. And a wreck. Certed in 2002, I have dove Coz, the keys, HI, Fiji the St Lawrence seaway and offshore Jersey wrecks. I try to do safe, clean efficient dives. Like Dirty Harry, I'm always aware of my limitations.
I became a DM in 2006, and work with a local shop doing training. I think we do a very good job. I find myself working with the kids in class a lot. At least they listen to you.
I do mostly cold water during the year, I try to get to Coz once a year.
