Scuba Diving

The exploring doesn’t stop at the waterline. Diving is one of the ways I keep poking at the parts of the world most people never get to see.

Warm water or cold, reefs or wrecks — I’ll take whatever the boat is doing that day. My wife dives too, so it’s a shared habit rather than a solo escape.

Swimming with sharks. No. This is not AI.

Two of Us Down There

Not Every Day Goes to Script

Front page of Aruba's Diario newspaper with a photograph of police boats alongside a dive boat on the water.
The time the dive boat broke and didn’t come for us on surfacing, so police boats had to come and get us back in.
