Ok, So it has absolutely nothing to do with dog training.

But it does have everything to do with my life, and what I love.

I have four loves in my life:

1) My Family

2) God

3) Dogs

4) Scuba Diving

I took up diving 3 yrs ago.  I did my first check out dive on July 2, 2000.  I had been swimming a whooping 6 weeks.  I had never been on a boat in my life.  My instructor had to shove me off the boat.

I have since logged over 650 dives, to depths as great as 210ft.  I have taken my advanced, nitrox, advanced nitrox, deep diver, normoxic tri-mix, and dive master training.

I will be including some pictures and links as this site progresses.

I went diving this afternoon.  We did the United Caribbean, and Sunkist Reef.

I have dove the Caribbean probably 60 times, the first time was about a week after it was sunk.  It was still shiny and new then!  Now, she is getting some growth, and the fish are everywhere.  She is starting to deteriorate, but that is to be expected in the salt water here.

Special thanks to Captain Rob McBrayer, for yet another wonderful day on the ocean!

I was not able to get any pictures of the wreck, but I did manage to get one or two shots of some turtles on the reef.  While they are not the best……I am working on that!

While I have dove since my last posting on this subject, I have not had a chance to get the film developed that I had taken. 
We dove the Sea Emperor and the Ancient Mariner today.  The day was great, some current, but great vizability and wonderful sea life. 

This is "Buddy" the Southern Stingray.  Buddy is a great fellow and loves everyone!

This is a "Goliath Grouper"  Otherwise known as a "JewFish"  He was a smallish one, probably about 100lbs or so.

This is a "Spanish HogFish"  They are beautiful fish, in the Wrasse Family.  I hear that they are good eating, but they are soooo pretty, I can't bring myself to shoot one!

The bigger fellow is a "HogFish"  Positively the best fish out there to eat!

The pictures above were taken on the Ancient Mariner.

Not the best, as I have not gotten the hang of Macro yet, nor do I really have the equipment!

Until the next trip!
