Occupation PADI Dive Master
Location Poway, CA, United States
Introduction I first tried diving in 2007 during a Discover Scuba Diving day at Jacks Diving Locker in Hawaii while on vacation. Once back home in San Diego, I signed up for an open water class and got certified. Since then I've enjoyed taking many PADI classes and became a PADI dive master in 2009. I love all types of diving, but my favorite is definitely shark diving. In 2011 I was one of the 11 divers allowed to dive cageless with the great white sharks of Guadalupe Island. In 2013 I was taught & allowed to be a shark feeder at Tiger Beach. I love to travel and have dove in Antarctica, Bahamas, Fiji, Roatan, Cozumel, Loreto, Riviera Maya, Guadalupe and Socorro Islands (Mexico) Maldives, Palau, and South Africa. Closer to home I've been diving in Arizona, Florida, Lake Tahoe, Hawaii, the Channel Islands and of course a lot of local diving.
