A discovery dive a couple years ago in Cozumel was my motivation to first get certified, which I did summer 2012. Since then I just kept diving most every weekend and taking courses when not diving until becoming an instructor in 2016. I find it most rewarding to share the enjoyment of scuba with new divers and keeping it safe.
But I must say that besides the sport itself, the real attraction is that scuba diving is probably the most welcoming hobby I’ve ever undertaken. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming to a newcomer and passionate about the sport.
