Hi everyone.:wavey:
I grew up near the Saratoga Springs/ Glens Falls area of New York State. Now I live in Reno, Nevada. Growing up I spent a lot of time in the lakes or rivers. My first dive (pre certified) was on an old backpack, no flotation,full foot fins,and a huge oval high volume mask made by AMF. What freedom!!! I was about ten.
In '85 my snorkling buddy and I got certified by Naui. In '86 Iwent to the College of Oceaneering-got my surface supplied air and Dive medic in Hyperbarics.Iworked in the commercial dive field in California and North Carolina and did a hitch with the US Marines in between. I joined the Corps when I was 31!
Now i'm 50-just a sport diver,PADI Divemaster,and haven't had the urge to get into a lot of Tech gear or dive the mix (yet).
