I have been in love with all things aquatic since childhood.  Our family was always by, on, or in the water.  My mother claims my fascination with the sea started when someone gave me the storybook album Bozo Under the Sea, how appropriate.  At age 10 an uncle who actually dove with J.Y. Cousteau gave me a copy of The Silent World and I remember thinking "someday that will be me".  I dove camera free for 25yrs but 5yrs ago combined the two hobbies and now can’t imagine diving without a camera in hand.

Being a former landlocked Montanan, my love of diving came later in life.  My Undergrad degree in biology provided me with a good marine life background.  My husband urged me to take up the sport and I’m so grateful that I did.  Diving with Martin has exposed me to so many cultures and given me more pleasure than I could have ever imagined.  Always looking for a new challenge I have taken up the video camera and am addicted.  The only downside is Martin has lost his model and critter finder.

Sydney is yes named after one of our favorite cities.  She is an American Bulldog.  Not one much for water but does love the snow!

 Isabeau was our wonderful English Mastiff.  Everyone who met her loved her and for good reason.
