I started diving in the early 80s, and in those few years, I’ve learned that the phrase, “let’s get in the water” is something to live by. Bubble therapy is highly underrated. IIn my life I’ve been blessed with great health, great friends, a wonderful relationship, and the ability to share my passion with others. My dive career started in the Navy in 1985 aboard fast attack submarines. My goal at Diventures is to show “my world” to others by teaching my passion and giving each student the opportunity to make it their world too.
