About sgl308

Biography:

I grew up in Northern Wisconsin and served 6 years in the Navy after High School. Since then, I've had several hobbies. It started with photography, then sky diving, on to fllying, then back to photography, to guns, and now scuba diving. What that leaves me with is a pilot's license, a bag full of expensive camera gear, and a cabinet full of expensive firearms... and a bedroom full of dive gear! I never would have thought diving would take me to where I am today, but after that first dive, I haven't been able to stay out of the water long enough for my gear to dry. And now I'm getting paid to do something I love.

Dive History:

I started diving up in Wisconsin, mainly the Lake Michigan wrecks. I've been to the Bonne Terre Mine in Missouri, and several freshwater lakes in Wisconsin. After moving to Florida, I've been wreck diving in the Gulf out of Panama City and Bradenton Beach. I've been on several drift dives in the Atlantic out of West Palm and shore diving from Lauderdale by the Sea. Inland dives include lakes and several springs.

While underwater, I enjoy exploring, SAR, and photography. I'll dive anywhere there's water in any type of visibility.
