Shore dive at Hookena is always good, sometimes you get to snorkel with dolphins, marlins, tuna, even a big tiger shark, not to mention humpbacks the...
Raised 15 minutes from Jones beach on Long Island- New York. It wasn´t until I moved to the desert of Arizona that I bacame a diver.
I dive locally at Lake Pleasant year round but prefer trips to tropical locations.
As a diver I believe in continued education and am a member of the Academy of Scuba Complete Diver Program.
Training is knowledge and experience. Unfortunately experience isn't knowledge. Unless you get training you'll only be experienced at repeating your own mistakes.
You can never be too well trained. If this makes me a card collector I'll wear the label proudly!
I´m continuing my SCUBA education by taking specialties with AcademyofScuba.

Dive History:
After a discovery dive in Bora bora during a vacation in 06 I was infected with the dive bug.
I got my OW cert in March of 07 at Lake Pleasant in AZ. A week later I was in Aruba for dives on the Antola and Pendernales wrecks. That August I took a trip to San Carlos for 6 dives and AOW cert. December 8th 2007 and September 20th 2008 I add cleanup dives to my log at Sagauro lake in AZ for Project AWARE. I've gotten to dive in Ft Lauderdale and also a couple of dives in Cabo San Lucas, 3 dives in Cancun and 2 dives from Casino Point dive park in Catalina in June of 09 to add to the list of locations that I've dived. I can be found at Lake Pleasant regularly for training and to keep in practice between trips.
