    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 22 years. My wife was certified with my daughter when she turned 12, the whole family has been diving together for 18 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 8 years.

    2018 was my best diving year to date, 216 dives, Lemon Shark aggregation in Jupiter, Galapagos, 2 weeks in Bonaire with my wife, Goliath Grouper aggregation in Florida, a week on the Cayman Aggressor, and first dives with my son in 2 1/2 years. 2019 has gotten off to a great start. I returned to Bonaire with my wife in April, and returned from a week in the Revillagigedos at the end of May. Hit 1800 dives while in Mexico. I've made my usual trips to Florida. Five dolphins joined me on a solo dive in Boynton Beach and Lemon Shark aggregation in Jupiter was fantastic :)
