I've been diving for 2 years now and it has become an obsession. I have found diving to be not just a hobby, but practically a lifestyle. My preference is to dive where there is the most wildlife to see, which usually means traveling, but I dive around the tri-state area too. I am a volunteer diver at the NY Aquarium, which I have found to be very rewarding (even if it sometimes gets in the way of my actual diving!).
