About scubadada

Biography:

I was certified in high school while living in the Los Angeles area. I was a competitive swimmer and water polo player through high school. I dived actively, mostly shore diving in LA, Orange, and San Diego Counties with occasional trips to Catalina for the decade while I finished high school, college, and medical school. I did not dive for 15 years (married, moved to Oregon, residency and fellowship training, children, moved to Pennsylvania, medical school faculty...). I was recertified with my son when he turned 12, we've been diving together for 14 years now. My wife was certified with my daughter when she turned 12, the whole family has been diving together for 9 years. We try to dive as a family as much as we can, more often now it's my wife and me. I also dive by myself whenever business travel provides the opportunity.
