My grandmother described it best... "... all I could see were your eyes and pacifier. Everything else was covered in mud...".

Past & Future Trips

Costa Rica 2022

Traveling to Drake's Bay on the southwestern edge of the country facing the Pacific Ocean, said to have been a docking point for non other than Sir Francis Drake the pirate! Lets dive Cano Island!

Riviera Maya 2014

In the summer of 2014, I completed a 10 week study abroad program with Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi in the surrounding areas of Puerto Aventuras working on diving physiology of bottlenose dolphins.

Tsavo National Park 2023

Ever heard of the "Man Eaters of Tsavo"? This was home to a pair of mane-less lions that terrorized the expansion of the British Empire during the construction of a railroad bridge in the year 1898.

Aqua Arena Springs 2022

I dove the Aqua Arena Springs in San Marcos, TX in March. High 50s-degree water, great visibility. A must for any diver wanting to discover what Texas waters have to offer!

Big Bend National Park 2021

In December of 2021, a group of friends and I set out to camp one of the most breath-taking parks in Texas.

Antilope Canyon 2017

Close to "Horseshoe Bend" of the Grand Canyon, this place lights up in visually stunning colors of amber.

Into wreck diving? Texas has a great destination for this activity close to the shores of South Padre Island. 4th of July!

Isla Mujeres 2022

Traveling to Cancun in October, planning on diving reef and wrecks sites close to Isla Mujeres.

Diving Interests

Aside from upcoming dive trips (Costa Rica, May 2022; Isla Mujeres, October 2022; Mombasa, Kenya 2023), I find great interest in diving physiology. Gas exchange, metabolic rates and the "dive response" are just few of the topics I dig into data analytics. How is gas exchange affected by body mass in the Pacific walrus? What are the future techniques of deep diving in humans? Lets chat!!
