I've been diving in Culebra, PR for 27 years and have participated in collecting photographs and video while diving that have been made into videos for 25 of those years.

Diving for me has become good medicine... it sets me right. It gives me perspective on the rat-race we all tend to get caught up in.

During the last 27 years, I have usually dove with Ron Williams, my SCUBA instructor from 1987, his wife Susan Reid, and always with Gene Thomas of Culebra. I don't dive anywhere else. No one, and I sincerely mean no one, knows the waters and reefs around Culebra like Gene does. This video is from 3 days of diving with just Gene and I.

For the video, I tend to do things on the cheap... no expensive camera rig for me. All footage was shot on an iPhone 6s Plus in a WaterShot Pro housing and a $16 LED dive light... that's it. I dive... we dive... because we love it! I record video and stills so I can share them with others. This is the first time that I have shot the video and stills and assembled the video myself... its a first go... so enjoy it for what it is.
