Why I scuba dive?   I was reading several underwater archeology books in first grade and was enticed by all of the SCUBA pictures.  Fueling to my desire was growing up watching Flipper every Sunday.  Years later I was given the opportunity to take an Open Water course and have been diving throughout the world ever since.  I think it is not only the beauty and peacefulness of the underwater world that keeps me diving, but also the social interactions.  Diving is truly a social sport.

My favorite dive sites? The Shipwrecks of the Great Lakes, Blue Hole, and the Marianas and Caribbean Islands.
