Scuba Diving

I learned how to scuba dive almost 2 years ago and love it ! With over 50 dives logged , I have achieved the PADI Open Water , Advanced Open Water , Nitrox , and Rescue Diver certifications . I am on my way to Master Diver , which requires 4 more certifications ! I cannot imagine life without seeing the beautiful creatures under the water
and getting the chance to scuba around them .
Although seeing a shark has an unparalleled cool factor , my favorite fish to see is the angel fish ( as seen in one of the pictures below ). My deepest dives range between 110 to 111 feet , but the coral reefs about 30 to 50 feet deep have the most beautiful fish and sometimes even sleeping turtles !
My favorite quote about scuba diving is :
“ It ’ s not the depths we conquer , but ourselves .” – After Edmund Hillary
