Expertise

I can answer questions about freediving, also known as apnea or breath hold diving, as well as questions concerning recreational and technical SCUBA diving including cave diving, mixed gas diving, DIR philosophy and career development.

Experience

I began snorkeling as a child and then I began SCUBA diving in 1982 at the age of 14. Presently, I'm 40 years old and the Technical Training Director for PDIC International. I've worked professionally in the diving industry since 1989 and I've completed over 6000 dives in all marine and aquatic environments. I'm a certified full cave diver with NSS-CDS and IANTD. I've had various levels of technical training with PDIC, GUE, NSS-CDS, NACD, TDI, and IANTD. I'm also a YMCA Lifeguard Instructor. I teach the PDIC Tek Prep, PDIC Tek 1, and PDIC Cave 1. I'm also currently authoring the technical manual for PDIC International. I teach a variety of specialties including extended range freediving, advanced rescue, tek prep, nitrox, tek nitrox, decompression procedures, night, deep, wreck, drysuit and navigation.
