Hi Im Maria
Ive been diving for 22 years, before that I was very afraid of water! It took 3 PADI DSD ocean dives before I finally did my Open Water Licence. My love of the ocean began as did my career, working in Hospitality, Dive Guiding & Instructing. Im also a Registered Nurse. I have dived extensively throughout the world, Mexico ( Pacific & Caribbean) Many Caribbean Islands, Australia (Coral Sea ) Canary Islands, India, Spain mainland, Greece, Turkey, Portugal, Egypt, Israel, Indonesia, USA, Thailand, Malaysia, Germany, even the freezing UK :-) Im sure Ive left out a few. Most of my diving is in Asia and the Red Sea. I prefer the warmer waters and climate. I spent a while doing videography, using Sony Camcorder with an Amphibico Housing .Also JVC Everio GZ320. I have played around with a few different point and shoot cameras, currently Fuji F100. But am considering a Canon G12 in the near future. My fav place for clear blue water has to be the Deep South Red Sea. :-)
