42 years old, first dive when I was 16. Last 14 years living in south FL and diving 200 -300 days a year weather permitting. Have dove all over the world, East Africa through Indonesia and New Guinea to East Australia, as well as Hawaii and Nor/Southern Cal. Love collecting my own fish for my tanks, in fact last 10 years have not bought a single fish.

Some of the places i have dived recently:

Heron Island:

Wheeler Reef:

Magnetic Island:

Orpheus Island:

Davis Reef:

S.S. Yongala:

I turned tropical in 2005 when i went to the GBR to study marine biology, hence all the reefs.
I still love diving and snorkelling in temperate waters though, it's how i grew up.
Of my 21 years, i have spent 8 years diving and ~15 snorkelling so far, with many, many more to come!

Incidentally i'm Padi certified.

I like this idea---how about showing your best reef shot?
