First Blog Ever

I am trying new things.  Blogging and Vlogging have been suggested over the last year.  I have resisted.  I have never considered myslef much of a writter or story teller.  What I do have for you and myself is an interest in scuba diving and world travel.  I have always held back on everthing so that i don't appear over bearing or ostentatious.  I guess it has been a secureity blanket.  I have never felt that telling my adventures will interest anyone.  My closest friends have incouraged me.  With much resistence...here I am. Please bear with me as i figure this out.  I love what I am doing and I just need time figure this all out.. with your help, I know that this will be possible. 

In early 2025 I asked for a 6 month leave of absence.  After several weeks of talking, a LOA was not possible for fear of upsetting coworkers.  The same was said weeks later after asking to use all my PTO to see if I could relieve the stresses of the position I had been in for several years.  It was one no after the other.  When I finally turned in a two weeks notice, management was a little supprised, but gracusly accepted it any said the down was always open when I decided to return.  That just made me more determined.  I became a scuba instructor in early 2023.  I have been teaching scuba and leading dive trips around the world since that time and I am truely loving life.  It looks like luxury and sometimes it is, however it is a lot of work putting a fun successful trip together.

I hope you will follow along and interact with these adventures.  Follow, Like and share. I can use all the exposure possible.

If you have places you want to see or visit, please let me know.  I would love to help you plan your next dive trip or have you join one of the custom trips I have build and planned for land and sea exploration,  Tell me where you would like to go or see.
