1. San Salvador, Bahamas NYE 2012/2103 Where I first realized the difference between a vacationer that dives and a diver that's on vacation! Started my quest to be a REAL diver and made life long friends!
2. Bonaire April 2013 Chez J was a hit! Leading shore dives for the first time. A real diver was forging!
3. Roatan October 2013 Brought my two best friends and introduced them to my dive addiction. A lionfish assassin was born! Solo diver gets certified
4. Saba/St. Kitts NYE 2013/2014 My first live aboard experience and first deep water open ocean diving. 5 dives a day! Hardcore free falls onto pinnacles in the middle of the ocean!
5. Maldives March 2014 Second live aboard trip and the most amazing diving of my life! Manta after manta! Oh and met my future wife, so a pretty great trip!
6. Little Cayman August 2014 Bloody Bay Wall! If you don't know, ask somebody!
7. Galapagos NYE 2014/2015 It's everything you've ever heard and more. Hundreds of hammerheads, whale sharks, dolphins, seals, turtles, and more! ADRENILINE PUMPING RIPPING CURRENTS!!
8. Bonaire Sept 2015 So good had to do twice!
9. Dominica May 2016 STAY TUNED!!!
Thanks Kamala!
I think of myself now as a REAL diver thanks to you and SD! I've made many wonderful friends, got the opportunity to learn from so many great people, and oh yeah and meeting my wife on one of your trips was pretty special too lol!

Too many memories to choose a favorite; it has been a fantastic series of adventures with an enviable list of characters 
and mentors 
met along the way. Looking forward to additions for a long time to come. Thanks Wenchie 
and keep 'em coming!

My list is short...I've only been able to make the old North Carolina Wreck and Shark dives. Those were always fun.

There was a time when I would not only remember each of the trips, I would also remember when they were. That was when I was doing more diving. What I conclude from that is that my dumb brain cells, the large majority, must absorb nitrogen while the smart brain cells do not. My dumb brain cells must need to be preoccupied with narcosis, to allow the few remaining smart ones to function uninterrupted, and that is not happening now. That said, here is what is coming to mind.
North Carolina wrecks
Cooper river
Bonaire
Cooper river
Truk / Palau
Best of Florida
Truk / Palau
I think I am suffering from nitrogen deprivation.

Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise.
If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.
