Expertise: I can help you with questions about what to expect when learning how to SCUBA dive; how to select a good instructor and dive shop; and how to begin diving after you have been trained. I can help out with gear questions. I am always happy to discuss topics you learned in training but would like to know more detail. I can recommend additional training and books on SCUBA diving.

What do you like about this subject? What I like most is similar to motorcycle riding, flying, skydiving that I also do: you have a chance to become one with the environment that you don't normally belong in. Second, you get to participate in a part of our world that only a few humans get to enjoy. It makes you appreciate life and the earth even more.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I strive to devote more and more of my time to the diving industry. The goal would be achieved when I am spending a moajority of my day outside and/or in the water working with other people who want to learn how to dive or just enjoy diving.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: What you learn in basic SCUBA training is the tip of the iceburg of what you have the potential to learn. Every dive, even the most simple, can become a personal learning experience.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Some divers, through carelessness or poor training, cause damage to the very ecosystem that they are learning how to enjoy and become a part of. Please be ultra-respectful of the underwater environment. Remember that you are only a visitor.
