My Interests

I love to read, go swimming, anything that relates to the outdoors, and scuba diving (this means you Amanda you're now my diving buddy and I promise I won't let you drown). Also if you can't already tell I'm into Naval and Maritime history and also shipwrecks, underwater archaeology, and the sea.

I'd like to meet:
