The sport of diving was a passion of ours since we first started it over ten years ago. It was evident from the first time we took a breath on a regulator in a pool that this would be a lifelong passion. Before we left for our check-dive trip to the Sea of Cortez, all of our gear had been purchased. After returning from our checkout weekend dive, we knew we could not wait to return to Mexico and dive again. We began diving in Panama and logged more than 100 dives during our first year. We had so much fun diving that we decided to share our passion with others.
