About Desert_Pirate

Biography:

I started Diving in 2004. Have been an active diver for my local search and rescue unit here in Bingham County for 6 years now... Most of my diving is in The cold low visibility rivers here in Idaho, I really enjoy river diving because I like to feel the current and enjoy the challenge of navigating against it by using what natural current lines I can find and utilize. I started working with my local Dive shop in 2006 were I became a Dive Con and started working on my instructor status. I also enjoy traveling to new places, meeting new people and learning as I go.
