Personal Dive Insturctor? Yeah that be me. I am a SSI dive instructor with a few specialities under my weightbelt. But I am here, in Texas, with only some green murky ponds to get wet in. I now spend my time working towards returning to my new home in Hawaii. I have lived in California most of my life, the desert to be exact, and I dove in the waters of the sothern coast for many years. I became intimatley familiar with Laguna Beach, Crystal Cove, La Jolla, and the islands dotting the coastline from Santa Barbara to Mexico. I took the plung almost two years ago to live in another paradise. I quit my job in corrections and moved to Maui, Hawaii. I worked as a full time dive instructor there, and know the island’s dive sites like a good friend. I would love to be a resource for divers about these locations, or to provide honest advise and feedback about diving, living in paradise, or anything else.
