    I was certified by the LA County Underwater Unit when I was 16 and 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 17 years. I was recertified with my son when he turned 12, we've been diving together for 21 years. My wife was certified with my daughter when she turned 12, the whole family has been diving together for 16 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 I have the opportunity. We've owned a 2nd house in Boynton Beach, FL for nearly 7 years.

    2018 has been a good year so far, 175 dives, Lemon Shark aggregation in Jupiter, Galapagos, 2 weeks in Bonaire with my wife, and Goliath Grouper aggregation in Florida. I still have a week on the Cayman Aggressor and more time in Florida :). 2019 plans are coming together, return to Bonaire and the Revillagigedos so far. Now, if I can just figure out how to get out with my son and daughter.
