Years ago I lived in the desert, hours from the Pacific Ocean, and getting into the water was the last things on my mind. But one spring day in 2010, on a whim, I dropped into my local sporting goods store to learn a little bit about the PADI Discover Scuba Diving introductory classes they were offering. The day I took my first breath underwater, I knew that I wanted to be a scuba diver for the rest of my life. I got my Open Water certification that summer and was hungry (or more accurately, thirsty) for as much time and as many experiences underwater as possible. I found a dive buddy who was just as crazy about diving as I and my adventure started. With a few hundred dives in all kinds of environments under my belt, it was only a matter of time before I decided to Go Pro. I now get to share my love of diving with not just my family, but with everyone who is interested. Want an instructor who is guaranteed to be as excited about scuba diving as you are? You found him.

Chris Paparo (FishGuyPhotos) Born and raised on Long Island (New York), I have been exploring the wilds of the island for over 30 years. As a wildlife photographer, writer and lecturer, I enjoy bringing public awareness to the diverse wildlife that calls the island home. My passion for coastal ecology, fishing and the outdoors led me to obtain a BS in Marine Science from LIU/Southampton and I currently manage the new Marine Sciences Center at the Southampton campus of Stony Brook University. In addition to freelance writing for several fishing and wildlife related publications, I currently writes the monthly Naturalist’s Logbook column for the NY/NJ edition of On The Water Magazine. Although my work tends to focus on marine life, everything in the natural world is fair game.
