Biography: After a Discover Scuba Diving class, I fell in love with diving. From the cold California ocean to the warm Caribbean sea, the diversity of the underwater world never ceases to amaze me.

Biography: Diving is peaceful and it is like exploring another world. No dive is ever the same. You will always see something new and different each and every time.
I really enjoy teaching SCUBA and seeing others accomplish their dream of learning to SCUBA dive.
When I get to dive for fun I like to go to San Carlos, Mexico and dive with the marine mammals. I love diving with the sea lions and doing summersaults with them in the water. They are absolutely incredible, they will make you laugh…and they are extremely FAST!

Biography Aviation and Scuba Diving were interests of mine from my earliest days. The exploits and adventures of my boyhood heroes : John Glenn, Frank Borman, Neil Armstrong and Pete Conrad led me to an aviation career early in life, while the exploits of Jacques Cousteau led me to learn to dive later in life. I wish I had not waited!
Planet Earth is a water planet. What Dr Zeuss said about the “blue” above the planet holds doubly true for the “blue” below the planet….
OH! THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!
You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
So… be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea, You’re off the Great Places!
Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So…get on your way!
