Certified Since: 1973
Highest Certification Level: Master Scuba Diver Trainer
Instructor Since: 2004

I first became interested in diving while watching "Sea
Hunt" on TV as a child. I have over 50 years of diving
experience beginning in high school. I have participated in
diving research activities along both coasts of BAJA,
around the Caribbean islands near Belize, the islands off
the Northeast US coast, and in two of the three functioning
underwater habitats in Florida making me an Aquanaut. I
was a high school science teacher for 29 years and have
led marine ecology trips for high school students to Marine
Lab in Key Largo, FL for twenty years. Since education
has always been a part of my life, it finally dawned on me
to teach something else I loved, diving. I have been
teaching diving since 2004.
