“I have always considered myself to be a student of life and adventurer. The first time I took a breath underwater I was hooked on scuba diving! When I stepped off a dive boat into the warm, blue waters off the coast of Belize and gazed upon two large spotted eagle rays, I became a scuba diving addict. My passion for scuba diving is equaled only by my passion to teach others how to dive. I firmly believe in the NAUI motto “Dive Safety Through Education” and feel that learning to dive must be a fun and enjoyable experience for the student. What I love most about the diving community is how willing our members are to share their knowledge, experiences and are ready to help when needed. While I may teach my students to dive, I also learn from my students.”
