I'm from Boise, Idaho. I joined the Military in 1989 was medically retired in 2000. Picked up scuba diving along the way and now travel the world diving and teaching people how to dive. I've worked in Seattle, Hawaii, Florida, Malaysia, India and Singapore. I'm Currently in Prague, Czech Republic. Diving is more than "just another way to spend the weekend." It's the rush that never fails to kick in each time you slip beneath the water and draw your first breaths from the regulator. Its cobalt blue water and seeing the boat from your 180ft stop. It's realizing that you know your tables by heart. It's wondering if the shark was 10 or 15 feet long. It's when you think, I wonder if it goes... whenever you see a sinkhole. It's when your dive gear costs more than your car. It's about late nights with friends in Cayman, trying to remember the year of your first staged decompression dive. It's when 50 degrees and ten feet of visibility sounds about right. Its knowing that no other human (besides your dive buddy) has ever seen what you have. - The boys at Halcyon
