Dive History
I grew up in the Northeast, and learned to dive in local lakes, rivers, and the Jersey Coast in the late 80's. I came from a Maritime/ Navy Reserve background and have had the opportunities to dive a lot of the coastal US and Hawaii, The Carribbean, The Med, The Red Sea, The Persian Gulf and Southeast Asia.
Currently volunteer for two Central VA dive teams and moonlight at a local dive shop.
I have two small children, so my dive radius is limited for now. Always happy to talk to other divers, and those in the central VA area.
