Two young scuba students smiling in a pool at the end of training. Their masks are up, faces bright, and the water is clear and calm. The image captures the pride and joy of finishing a dive class.

A group of divers smiling at the surface of the pool after training. They’re relaxed and laughing, showing the satisfaction of completing their session and the anticipation of open water ahead.

A scuba instructor and student performing giant stride entries into a pool. One diver is mid-leap while another just hit the water, sending up a small splash. It’s an energetic, fun action shot.

Two divers underwater in a pool practicing buoyancy control. Bubbles rise above them as they hover calmly, showing focus and control during confined water training.

Last pool dive of the season.

Two new divers, 10 and 15, crushed every skill and kept the smiles going.

The water’s getting cold, but the adventure’s just heating up. 🌊

Not diving today, but I did check something off the list: published my first WordPress Plugin. 🌊

I’ve written plenty for myself, but building one for the wild? That’s a different kind of deep dive.

Thanks man! That’s what it’s all about!

This weekend I certified my lifelong friend Kenn as a PADI Open Water Diver! 🤿
We’ve known each other since age 9 (now 54) From thermoclines to low viz, he crushed it — and on our fun dive, I watched him transform from student to diver.
Next stop: Fiji 2026! 🌊
