Andrew ************* Hello and welcome to the Diving Locker. Diving is a great activity that almost anyone can enjoy. There is so much to see and discover, and it will surely open up all kinds of opportunities and adventures for you. I've been a SCUBA diver now a nuber of years. Because I've enjoyed diving so much - as I know you will - I've taken every type of recreational diving course, earning the advanced SSI instructor rating of Dive Control Specialist Instructor (DCSI). I thoroughly enjoy diving and teaching others how to become new and better divers. But I've also been involved with many other above-water diving activities, like Project Yukon, the San Diego Oceans Foundation, writing new SSI course specialties, and lecturing on diving. When I'm not diving, some of the other activities I'll be doing are my full-time job as a mapping and traffic engineer, boating, and my yacht services business, will a little fabrication on the side. I am looking forward to starting you on your way to enjoying the undersea world, or if you are already certified, then I know many new experiences are awaiting you. But no matter what your skill or comfort level, I will provide you with the atmosphere you need to become a comfortable and confident SCUBA diver. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about diving, such as courses, equipment, or professional development. Thank you. ********
