Paul's Story
Life
I retired in 1999 single with no kids and went to Key Largo Florida to train as a scuba Instructor and U/W photo pro.Since then I have traveled all over the world trying to live and dive in all the best places.I just returned to Florida from the Andaman Banks in Myanmar and Phuket Thailand.I was living in Micronesia [ Kosrae } in 2000/04 working in Palau, Yap, Kosrae on the liveaboard dive boats.I spent several months bumming around Bora Bora and the Great barrier reef in Port Douglas,No worries Mate.
I live here in Florida when not traveling in a 32 ft Motorhome.I have achieved my life ambition to be a bum at last.
Update.Sold the beast 2019 bought a better Boat.
Latest trip was back to Yap to photograph Manta Rays and Palau for everything else.Next upcoming trip will be back to Holbox, Mexico for the annual Whale Shark convention during the Plank...Expand for more
ton Bloom. [2007/8 ] Also dived with the Georgia Aquarium Whale sharks in Atlanta,Ga. Nothing like a 35 ft whale shark looking back at you, eye to eye.
Trips are getting harder,the diving is the same but the air travel is killer.As a Bum this is going against the grain.La Paz is next. More Whale sharks.2018
Next trip Back to Bangkok and Cambodia, Peace.
Been a while since Bangkok and Chaing Mai .What a Great City is Bangkok's people and life energy is off the charts.No Diving But a few Baby Elepants in C M. And the Momma Elephant who allowed me to bond with her Baby. Nov/Dec 2018
Next trip planned so far will be the South atolls of The Maldives via Dubai. Might be worth it.Thats why I try to stay as long as possible so I dont have to go back to see what I missed.Usually 30 days on the visa.So many places and so little time.
Film at 11 as they say.later.
