Hi! I'm a PADI Scuba Instructor most fascinated by wrecks and Garden Eels who learned to dive in Bali (bad idea! Where does one go from there?!). When I have to surface I also enjoy Aikido, football, hiking, kayaking, reading, movies, crocheting, cooking and editing resumes, homework & websites for friends/family. Have a suggestion for an article? For me? Questions, comments or concerns - contact me any time. See you under the waves! ~M.A.
