I spent 7 years of a 28 year military career in the south pacific. While there I became a PADI instructor. I have about 2500 dives, most in the south pacific with some in the Caymans, the Texas coast, S. Cal and Mexico. I was traned by the Air Force in hyperbaric medicine and while stationed at Kadena Air Base I was the medical officer in charge of the hyperbaric chamber. Since retiring in Vegas the diving has dropped off but I still get in the water occasionaly.
