Dive History
I started diving in 1993 as a PADI OW diver. I gained the PADI Master diver in 1997. I just played around with diving and a good number of specialties for a good number of years until 2006 when I went out and got my SDI DiveMaster in 2006 and finally my SDI Instructor in 2007.
I have done a large part of my diving in Midwest Lakes and quarries but I have also gone to the FL Keys, Hawaii, Belize, Bonaire, Cozumel and Pensacola FL area. I still like the keys for there ease of getting there but of the other places I think my favorite was Bonaire so far.
