A special thank you goes out to my wife Michelle for agreeing with the purchase of the DSLR underwater camera. She even
obtained her Open Water certification in the summer of 2014 to participate in the sport I enjoy the most.
UPDATE: In December 2015 while in the Bahamas, Michelle earned her Advanced Open Water certification. Congratulations!
UPDATE: In September 2021, our neice Ashley earned her Open Water certification. Welcome to the world under the waves!
