Born and raised in South FLA. Loved boats and the water all of my life. 52 years old now but still healthy and adventurous. Lucky to have a wife that is the same, to the point of just now getting certified at age 50!

Dive History:
I come from the day when your OW card was all you needed to do any dive you wanted, even deco dives (we were trained then in deco theory and knew the tables by heart). Dive Fla, Bahamas, Cayman reefs/walls/wrecks (exterior) and deep dives. Lots of freediving as well (hit 90' once, when I was young!). Deepest dive, on air, 210' on the Wilkes-Barre off of Key West. Was off for about 10 years and am getting back in. Just dove in Bali and Indonesia--amazing!!! Always looking to improve and will be taking the GUE Fundamentals this year. Also doing a lot of shallow diving to get my wife used to it.
