you're like the person from hawaii, the lucky kind of diverI am the kind of diver that loves being underwater so much I decided to do it for a living. I was born in Key West and raised in the lower keys. I learned to SCUBA when I was 11, and started helping my father who was a tropical fish collector. Growing up I was the kid that was out on the boat fishing or diving as many days as possible, my senior year of highschool I missed 50 some odd days because the weather was nice and the water was clear! After HS I went to hardhat school and spent a few years diving in the oilfield in the upper Gulf of Mexico. After a few years in that profession I came back to the Florida Keys raise my kids. I eventually inherited my father's tropical fishing licence and started aquaculturing corals and marine plants. Recently I was given the opportunity to get my PADI Dive instructor certification and I am in the process of completing that.
I DO NOT LIKE WORKING ON LAND!
I am not a diver, I'm someone that likes to dive once in a while. Compared to everyone else, I am pretty much a pretender.
