Gil Zeimer
I was PADI-certified as an Open Diver in 1985 in a reservoir south of Dallas, TX, USA. After a few bone-chilling experiences in Northern California, I have dived exclusively in warm water ever since –– in Australia, Micronesia, four of the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, and throughout the Caribbean.
We all recognize that diving is a very serious sport. However, I try to inject humor wherever possible to bring a smile to my readers' faces and help them remember similar circumstances.
I live with my wife (a non-diver) in San Rafael, California.
