Why I scuba dive? I always wanted to be a fish so I figured this is the best way to achieve the goal, plus the water environment is one of the coolest to explore. I also wanted to do research on the water and study the organisms living there for a career.
My favorite dive sites are Lake Michigan, especially off Highland Park, IL

Why I scuba dive? I was reading several underwater archeology books in first grade and was enticed by all of the SCUBA pictures. Fueling to my desire was growing up watching Flipper every Sunday. Years later I was given the opportunity to take an Open Water course and have been diving throughout the world ever since. I think it is not only the beauty and peacefulness of the underwater world that keeps me diving, but also the social interactions. Diving is truly a social sport.
My favorite dive sites are the Shipwrecks of the Great Lakes, Blue Hole, and the Marianas and Caribbean Islands.

Why I scuba dive? My Sister-In-Law and her husband were already divers, and I inquired about being able to dive with them during an upcoming vacation to Mexico. They presented us with gift certificates for the OWD Referral Program at Christmas that year. Obviously one of the best gifts I could have gotten.
My favorite dive site without a doubt, Cayman Brac tops my list so far. The marine life, coral, and visibility make it a wonderful experience. The Florida Keys (Upper/Middle) for the marine life, the wrecks, and the ease of traveling there. Lake Michigan is good for the wrecks, and personal satisfaction of overcoming the challenges of diving deep in cold water.
"I love the peacefulness of being underwater. I could be just as happy, if not happier, spending the entire dive on one coral head just watching the marine life in their world, than if I covered a whole area following the group. When I'm diving, I feel at peace with myself and the world around me.
I'm currently pursuing my Dive Master certification so that I may help others enjoy the sport of diving, and also to give back to the people that have helped me get to where I am today."
