Experience California with Dive Into Your Imagination!  This summer I am really excited because I am running a ten-year anniversary trip to celebrate the first time I dived in California.  I hope you will join us as we will have our production team aboard, Richard Salas as our Photo Pro and many other surprises!  Water has always been a part of me.  There are stories about me jumping off a diving board at the local park when I was two.  Later, I joined swim team and spent 14

hours a day at the local pool.  My hair has turned green more than a few times through the years because of the chlorine and chemicals in various pools I lived in.  Lake Michigan was my Ocean because I knew no other.  Years later I walked past a sign that said, learn to Scuba Dive.  I walked into the shop and signed up that very day for lessons.  I had stopped swimming as sport but knew I needed to get my soul back to water.  When I put the regulator into my mouth and breathed underwater for the first time my life changed forever.  18 years ago upon my first breaths underwater I knew I would become a scuba diving instructor because I had never experienced freedom.  I stepped into liquid and was awakened to the mysteries of the underwater realm.  After traveling around the world a few times over as a dive instructor, boat captain, underwater cinematographer and writer, I now find myself yearning to dive California and share this with you.   The first time I dived in a kelp forest was ten years ago this summer.  I remember being in 20 feet of water and swimming through the kelp canopy, it felt as if I was a mermaid in a mermaid's lair.  The kelp fronds looked like hair and the forest became a community in my imagination.  It was one of the best experiences of my life and I want to share this with you!  Read More.
