Let me briefly relate
how I got interested in technical diving. It’s not a unique story, so you may
be able to identify with my experiences.
Originally certified in the mid-1970’s, by the mid-90’s I was an avid diver taking trips to the Caribbean as well as more regional trips. I was actively teaching all levels of recreational scuba courses as well. I discovered wreck diving in the Great Lakes was quickly becoming my favorite form of relaxation. However, I found I wanted more. More bottom time, more wrecks, and more pristine wrecks. In order to fulfill my dream, I needed to venture outside the world of recreational diving and learn about decompression diving and utilizing a variety of breathing gasses.
Since getting into technical diving, I’ve visited wrecks all around the Great Lakes. I’ve had the pleasure and honor of visiting some of the best shipwrecks in the world. I’ve had the opportunity to stretch myself and accomplish things I never thought possible. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting and diving with some of the greatest people you could ever hope to meet, many of whom have become not just dive buddies, but lifelong friends.
I love the Great Lakes and their wrecks so much; I decided to share the experience with others. I’m currently a TDI instructor offering Nitrox, Advanced Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, Extended Range, Entry Level Trimix, Advanced Trimix, Nitrox Gas Blender, and Advanced Gas Blender courses. If you have interest in, or questions about technical diving, drop me an e-mail.
Thanks for taking the time to look around,
