About jchapman3

Biography:

I got the dive itch in 2000 when I went on a PADI resort dive off the big Island of Hawaii. Green Turtles, moray's, an octopus that VANISHED in a cloud of black ink, and 3 black tip sharks sleeping on the bottom... not bad for my first 2 dives...

I got my C-Card in Plano Texas in August, 2006. I like photography above the waves, and hope to learn to take pictures under them.

My first dive was a PADI Resort dive off the big island in Hawaii. I got my OW Cert in October 2006 and have done several dives in a rock Quarry outside Terrel Texas.
