Scuba diving and sailing occupied many years of my life and were often enjoyed together during my life.
One of my proudest accomplishments is that I hold an active Master Scuba Diver Trainer’s Certificate and led the World Wildlife Fund’s Board of Directors on diving tours in Belize in an effort to educate the board and to secure funding for offshore moorings. I have logged over 3000 dives in my lifetime.
Being on a sailboat or under the water represented a significant part of my life.
