I made a video to show people just the kind of person I really am and why a course with me would be fun. I want to know what you think of the video, and whether there is something I should change. I am open to discussion from "It sucks" to "It deserves an Oscar."

Not deterred by the rain six divers and myself headed out on the Giant Stride dive boat skippered by Jim Simmerman.
