Scuba Diving Magazine Feature – All About, er, Me…

At the beginning of January, the editors at Scuba Diving Magazine tasked me with curating my library of images and pulling out a dozen or so of my favourites. In addition, they wanted me to give them some background about me. I stalled and procrastinated, and stalled some more. In the immortal words of Shirley Valentine, I’ve lead such a little life. Trying to share some background that would be of interest to my Scuba Diving Magazine audience was not so easy for me.

Anyhoo, I finally got ‘er done, and this is what I coughed up…

About Judy G Diver

Born and raised on the west coast of Canada, I have always felt a strong connection to the sea. But for many years, I stayed on the surface, afraid of what lurked down deep. When I was in my early 30's, with three young children (aka the P's), my husband (aka Mr G) signed us up for a SCUBA certification course, as a surprise. Although I had my fears, my stubbornness prevailed, and somehow I made it through four murky, frigid, cold water dives in Vancouver to successfully pass the course. Soon after we went diving off the west coast of Mexico, in the Sea of Cortez, where my eyes were opened to the beauty and other-worldliness of the life down under. And the rest, as they say, is history. I currently have well over 2000 dives under the belt, and I have been fortunate to travel and dive in Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Fiji, Palau, Philippines, Galapagos, Costa Rica, Hawaii, California, Egypt, Mexico, several islands in the Caribbean, and here in British Columbia. In addition to this blog and my personal website (Awoosh.com/Directory), which is linked at the top of the blog, my stuff has been published in a variety of magazines and websites, including a regular monthly feature for Scubadiving Magazine for several years. All links to this work can be found in this blog.
