Ruth and I discovered scuba diving fairly late in life but have been making up for lost time! We've been diving for well over twenty years now. We are avid Dive-Master Pro & Advanced open-water divers with experience in deep, wreck, drift, night, underwater naturalist, underwater navigation, recovery, rescue, signing-diver, emergency first responder, and nitrox diving!
