1967: 1st Scuba Dive in FLA
1970: NAUI Open Water in Naples, IT
1980: USCG Captain Lic.
1983: PADI Open Water Instructor
2004: Got more serious about u/w photography - prefer macro.

What I look for in a Dive Operator:

Boats with less than 16 divers. I try to avoid resorts that cater to large groups. Locations for advanced divers with no more than 4 divers per dive guide.
I mostly rely on referrals from fellow SDUPS.com members and other divers that I've met.
