            I have been scuba diving since 1999. I am an advanced open water and I want to become a dive master one day soon. I dive about twice a week here in Washington State, good old fashioned cold water diving. I dive in Canada quite frequently as well. I have nearly a thousand dives. I love the additional freedom of warm water diving - no dry suits, less weight, much better visibility, a dramatically different array of animals to look at and of course, you don`t freeze your behind off. I am trying to develop dive buddies in the warm water locales I get to because I am finding that I enjoy warm water boat dives less and less - just too many people jammed onto one boat, plus I have pretty good air comsumption, so I usually have to come up well before I would like to. Also, I like to linger when I see something that interests me and generally you can`t do that if you are on a dive boat operation. It’s like you are on a tour that has to be over in an alloted amount of time. So, I hope to see you on a shore dive in warm water soon. And if you ever get up to Seattle, e-mail me and we`ll go chase some giant octopus and six gill sharks!
