After a mini-midlife crisis, I've taken a short break from actively teaching scuba and took some TEC Classes for myself; although I still thoroughly enjoy a 20-foot reef dive, a 12-foot drift down Rainbow River, or a leisurely day at the quarry! I love NC and Virginia Beach wreck diving! Have also traveled/dived some great locations - Key Largo, Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior, St Lawrence River Brockville Canada, Fiji, Grand Cayman, Bonaire, Cozumel, Columbia, Greece, Cabo San Lucas, St Maarten, St Croix, St Lucia, St Thomas, St Kitts, Roatan, Florida Springs, Jupiter FL, Hatteras, Morehead City, Lake Jocassee. I have dived 4 German U-Boats (U-352, U-701, U-85 and U-1105) and one American Sub (Tarpon). I am sure I have left some out! Favorite Dive Location: THE NEXT ONE!
