About SCheckman

Biography:

I am a Graphic Designer with over 24 years experience in corporate communications. Scuba Diving is one of my passions and I am now channeling some of my creative juices and love of underwater photography & scuba into digitally altered imagery that puts a unique light on the world both above and below the sea. I have also opened a shop at CafePress where I am selling t-shirts and gift geared for scuba divers.

I graduated from Cornell University, completed all coursework towards a MS degree in Communications Design at Pratt Institute as well as a 3-month design program at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.
I graduated from the High School of Music & Art in New York City.

Dive History:

I've been diving since 1988. I have logged 257 dives (I try to get away at least once a year to warm water). I don't dive up north (too cold). My last two dive trips were this summer both to the Turks & Caicos (Club Med). The diving was great. In June I saw a 30' whale shark and in August I saw a Manta Ray, lots of reef sharks, spotted eagle rays... it just doesn't get better than this. I have dived all over the Caribbean and the farthest (and best diving to date) was when I went to the Red Sea and dove Sharm El Shek.
