Favorite Dive Experience: “Anytime I can dive in the ocean! Probably
my favorite would have to be swimming with the humpback whales in the
Silver Banks between the Dominican Republic and Turks and Caicos. We
had a group of friends that chartered a live-aboard for the week and
we snorkeled or dove about 5 or 6 times a day. I had one encounter with
a female humpback whale and her baby. For about 25 minutes I swam along
side of her, able to look right in her eye. Her baby had been swimming
underneath her and when it was time for him to come up, the mom lifted
her right fluke and the baby came up right between us.”
Most Adventurous Dive: “Shark diving with Stuart Cove in the Bahamas.
After the water was chummed, we did a giant stride off the boat and a
group of 10 of us positioned ourselves on our knees in a circle on the
sandy ocean bottom. We were instructed to keep our arms by our sides
as the dive master continued to feed the sharks. There were literally
dozens of sharks swimming right between us. It was an incredible experience.”

Favorite Dive Experience: “Cavern diving in the cenotes. Outside
of Akumal, Mexico, there are underwater caverns that the Mayans believed
were sacred. The water is crystal clear and the views of the stalactites
and stalagmites are spectacular. As light shines through openings, it
creates a beam with incredible colors. When you surface and see and hear
the jungle, it’s breathtaking.”
Most Adventurous Dive: “The Great Barrier Reef in Australia. We took a helicopter from Cairns out to a small dock in the ocean. From there, we transferred to a Live-aboard. While diving, I was shooting U/W video of a giant clam and as it started to slam shut, I was just barely able to get out of the way!”
