I first started diving in 2000 when I did a PADI Discover Scuba Diving program in Bora Bora. My first few breaths underwater were amazing and I really enjoyed the feeling of total weightlessness. I fell in love with diving and wanted go become a pro so after returning home I got certified right away. Within 5 months, I became a PADI professional and worked as a Dive Master for the next 5 years teaching Refreshers and assisting in classes. In 2006, I became an Instructor and quickly moved up the PADI ranks and achieved their highest professional rating, the PADI Course Director. Currently, I teach all diver and professional level courses and really enjoy bringing in new divers into the underwater world. I am also passionate about training people to become great Scuba instructors and First Aid / CPR instructors. I have certified over 800 divers and instructors over the last 5 years and look forward to certifying thousands more in the future. My favorite type of diving is Wreck, Deep, and Underwater Photography/Videography. I also love to travel and take groups of divers to some of the most exotic dive destinations in the world so join me for one of my amazing trips and get ready to have the time of your life!

In 1992, I got certified under NAUI in the waters off New England. I made the switch to PADI in 2006 and became an Assistant Instructor in 2009. Over the last few years, I helped in many classes ranging from Open Water to Dive Master and particularly enjoy teaching women and kids. Traveling is one of the things I enjoy most in life and I love going on long Scuba trips all over the world. Diving in Southern California is great, the kelp forest is amazing and the sea life is unique. Casino Point is my favorite place to dive here. Spending a weekend in Catalina is a great way to relax, hang out with friends, and get some cool dives in. I hope to see you in a class or on a trip soon!

I've loved the aquatic since I was a kid, asking my dad to take me to aquariums and catching aquatic documentaries on TV whenever I could. In 2004 I got my open water certification with a friend, and have been diving and learning ever since, my latest endeavor being underwater photo and video. Most of my diving is right here in Southern California. You'd never guess while driving down the 405 that one of the top ranked dive destinations in the world is right here off our crowded shores. I enjoy helping introduce people to the ocean and feel comfortable exploring its sights and wonders. It's a great big, beautiful world out there, and most of it is water!

I was introduced to Scuba Diving in the summer of 1991 while on vacation in Maui, Hawaii with my family. Once I experienced the underwater world, I never looked back. Over the past 20 years, I have enjoyed dives in the Caribbean, various sites off the California coast, Hawaii, Italy and Mexico. I got my open water certification in the Cayman Islands in 1996. My favorite dive to date has been swimming through the kelp off of Catalina Island, because there was an abundance of aquatic life that you have no idea is in our local waters. My dream dive is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Since then, I have obtained my Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescue Diver and Divemaster certifications. In addition to Scuba, I enjoy volunteering with my local Boy Scout troop, and will use my certifications to help them earn their Scuba Diving merit badges. As an Eagle Scout myself, I know how much I enjoyed these types of activities as a Scout. The Scuba Diving merit badge didn't exist when I was a Scout, and enjoy that I can give back in this way.
