I've been diving about 5 years now and I love it. I've dived mostly in Monterey Bay, CA, but I've also been to Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Mexico, Cozumel and the Great Barrier Reef.

I don't do underwater photography, but I've seen some beautiful things.

At Lands End in Cabo, we swam through a GIGANTIC school of swirling silvers. It was unearthly, being in the midst of a tightly-packed school of bait fish.

I've seen Cormorants "fly" by me at 60 feet. I've had baby seals nibble on my fins as I swam. I've had sea lions charge me at full speed, blow bubbles in my face, and turn at the very last second.

I've done a nightdive in Cozumel during a full moon when all the sponges were "sperming" creating a huge cloud in the water. I've swam alongside sea turtles and barracuda.

I've seen the most beautiful nudibranchs, and I've laid on the ocean floor at 100 feet watching the dappled sun filter down through a kelp forest.


yeah, I like diving.
