Scuba diving occupied many years of my life, from the moment I visited The Florida Keys in 1976 and was fascinated by the explosion of life under the waters off Marathon Key. By 1980, I had begun diving off the coast of Isla Mujeres, which was then a deserted island and completed my Instructors Certification in January off the coast of Vancouver Island. Since then, I have logged over 3000 dives.
One of my proudest accomplishments was completing my Master Scuba Diver Trainer’s Certificate and leading the World Wildlife Fund’s Board of Directors on diving tours in Belize in an effort to educate the board and secure funding for offshore moorings.
