I began my diving career on Roi-Namur Island, Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands in 2001. I am part of a short list of divers who have been lucky enough to visit and explore the beautiful islands of Bikini Atoll and dive the collection of WWII ship wrecks sunk in the lagoon by various nuclear tests back in the '40s & '50s. Now I live on the beautiful island of Maui and dive as much as possible.

Dive Equipment:
I really like both of my regulators (Apex AT50 & Atomic T1). I have 2 different Aqualung BCD's (Patriot and Malibu RDS). 3 sets of fins (2 splits and 1 set of blades). I hardly ever use the blades. Love the splits! U.S. Divers snorkel gear. I personally use Suunto dive computers: the wireless air integrated Vytec and air integrated Cobra. Both work fine for me and I can download my dive profiles onto my computer which serves as my divelog. I also use the Atomic SS1 alternate airsource which doubles as an octo and BCD inflator. As you can see, I have several options depending on the type of diving that I'm doing. Depending on the configuration, I'll have 2, 3 or 4 hoses coming out of my 1st stage. I use the 2 hose setup with my primary, wireless Vytec and Atomic SS1, 3 hose setup with my primary, Atomic SS1 and Cobra, and I'll use the 4 hose configuration when instructing (primary, octo, spg and bcd inflator).
