At the heart of every dive I teach lies a simple yet powerful mission: to help divers - new and experienced - explore safely, have fun, and fall in love with the underwater world. I believe that the more people we immerse in the ocean’s wonder, the stronger our collective drive to protect it. Teaching good diving habits and raising ocean awareness go hand in hand.

Favorite Dive Sites
Over two decades have led me to some unforgettable dives. Here are a few personal highlights:
Spiegel Grove - A majestic wreck off Key Largo; a must-see for wreck enthusiasts
Jupiter's Hole In The Wall Dive Site - I see a ton of goliath groupers every time. Fun swim through with spicy current, DPV recommended.
Hydro Atlantic - An iconic Florida treasure with incredible marine life
Ginnie Springs - A freshwater gem loved for its pristine beauty and visibility
Farnsworth Banks - backside (ocean-facing side) of Catalina Island. The site is marked by sheer underwater pinnacles and wall is famous for its purple hydrocoral, which is in the region.
Oil Rigs Elly and Ellen are an interconnected pair of offshore oil platorms near Huntington Beach, California.
