Ocean Matters


A few days ago my brother Spencer ventured out on his first ocean dive. Here he is at Redondo Beach, California. In a few more days he will experience his first boat dive near the Catalina Islands; an area with a large great white population. He is only 16 years old yet soon he will be a Certified Open Water Scuba Diver.
