Miracles & Dreams


I believe things happen for a reason and that some events that you experience lead you to another event that puts you exactly where you are meant to be. Marrying my husband was an experience like that... but thats a whole other story! Scuba diving was also like that for me. If I had not gotten married, I would not have learned to dive. I would have missed out on that amazing opportunity and all of the breathtaking experiences I have had. I can honestly say that diving has changed my life.... in more ways than one.

Diving has just opened up an incredible door for me. Because of my love for diving in Catalina, my husband and I have dreamt of moving there (easier said than done!). It was never going to happen- how could it? But a couple days ago, I was offered a HR job that made it possible for us to finally live our dream! We will be relocating to the island in a few short weeks. Its amazing how diving led me to this adventure! How the chain of events just totally changed my path in life and sent me on a new direction. The job itself is a dream come true- and being able to live there on the island is like the cherry on top!

Starting next month, I anticipate ALOT of diving pictures being posted on a regular basis! I am so excited to start this new adventure with my husband! I have no idea what to expect but I cant wait to find out what awaits us!

Catalina- April 17 & 18, 2010

That's my hot husband!!











Going Down!



The hubs and I went to the island for a romantic weekend... had beautiful weather and 5 great dives! On my first dive I saw a seal... my first seal! He whizzed right past me. Later that night we walked past the dive park and saw about 10 of them frolicking in the spot where I dive. They were just taunting me because they knew I didnt have my gear on. Of course the next morning when I dove, they were nowhere to be found. Every dive was great- which is rare. Saw alot of starfish, many schools of blue fish and a huge sheephead. Attempted to dive once without my hood but it was too cold. The water was in the upper 50's. Cant wait to go back! I heart Catalina Island!!!!
