PADI IDC Staff Instructor - Scuba Diving since 1990
I started diving at a young age, much to my parents dismay, and many years later decided to make it a carreer. Even more to my parents dismay! Now after over twenty years in the industry I think my family accepts me not going to Lawschool and and getting a "normal" job. If you ask them I "Ran away with the Circus". During all those years I have lived worked in Kaui, Maui, Catalina Island, and now have landed here. I grew up in Chicago and moved to Fort Lauderdale around 2000 to become an instructor at Pro Dive International. As a diver I have travelled extensively and went down the tec diving road. I've gotten to play with rebreather units, get into caves, and see some deeper depths than most. These days however I keep things within the recreational limits and truely enjoy sharing my passion for the ocean witrh others. Seeing that light bulb moment in students when they experience the underwater realm for the first time never gets old!

Atomic Split Fins
All it took was watching the tail fins of fish - except that we couldn't keep up with them because our traditional fins took too much effort. Using hard kicking paddle fins can result in leg strain, fatigue and cramping. Because of the kick resistance of ...
