  • I began diving in 1978 while still in high school, and dove pretty often for about 5 years. Sadly life provided a longer than planned surface interval. Now, after raising two beautiful daughters that are both divers I have begun again to enjoy this incredible sport. Recently completed both Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air through PADI, and am beginning to work on my Rescue Diver. I prefer the temps of the Carribean waters, however I also enjoy both lake & quarry diving too. Looking forward to earning both my PADI Divemaster and NAUI Technical Diver licensees as I plan to continue diving as long as life allows!

    Dive master = Matu boat = Sagitario Much calmer today - storm is all gone. Great to be with Matu again, but we did not have him all alone as he helped cover some of the newer people while the girls and I went with Dennis Dave Mclean, Rick & Mae, Dennis & Patti, Neil First real time with Goyo (Gregario)

    Choppy 0 clouds started moving in for a storm tonight, so we lost our sunshine. Good drift, 3 different types of turtles, with hawksbill being brought on deck for monitoring. Met guy from University of Florida that monitors this endangered specie by filming them in their environment, then measuring, tagging and recording with photos before returning them to same spot he locates them. Very cool, and first time to see one this close. Connie also found a guys lost computer and seveal lobsters. Hawksbill was teenager - estimated to be 24-25 years of age and most likley his last year in West Palm before heading back to the Yucatan to start raising babies.
