Moving to Whidbey Island, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, I met Monte Merserve and this is where the first chapter begins. Since then I still teach Arc Swim Lessons to others, and became a Padi Swim Instructor teaching scuba diving for fifteen years . Since then I've been Scuba Diving around the world and meeting new friends in the World of waters. In this book I share stories of these underwater encounters both exciting and exhilarating. I also provided photos of these events, including my dive of a lifetime adventure in Antartica. ~ Virginia Huerlin Long Cross (Padi #3271) ~
