About Bruce

My first dives were in the Florida Keys in 1969, and then I certified with PADI in 1997

My interest in diving began in my late teens but it was a very physical and expensive sport and I lost interest until a trip to the Cayman Islands in 1996. While snorkeling with my wife in Stingray City we noticed divers seemed to be having much more fun than we were, so we both decided to get certified. We took lessons at Underwater World shortly after it opened and certified with them in 1997.

I enjoy golf and woodworking.

I have been a carpenter or carpenter contractor for 39 years.

My favorite diving is any liveaboard anywhere.
