    Clermont Divers

    I am still learning the area, good to see there is diving in my backyard. Now to get some more experience before I start into the tech side. I have become knowledgeable of the gators around here. There are quite a few. Some really really hate their picture taken. A friendly FYI.

    How many hobbies do you have, other than diving?

    Working out and rifle/pistol training/comps. Reloading has been fun to learn. Diving is my newest but I've gone all in.
