As described in my previous post, I ventured off to Mexico in search of some thrilling dive experiences, on a mission to start up a scuba web series.
This is the 2nd video created in the scuba series for ScubaDiverLife.com

Back in June of 2011 I was checking out scuba related videos online. I realized there were not enough professional videos that had a narrative.
I became very motivated to start a series for ScubaDiverLife.com and see what I could make happen. After several conversations with Dive Cooperative in Cozumel, Mexico – we had four thrilling scuba dives planned, along with an opportunity to start the web series I was dreaming of.
The first part of our adventure was to Cozumel, Mexico!
In this video Scuba Diver Life explores the fabulous corals and drift scuba diving that Cozumel has to offer! Enjoy!
During my first visit to Kona, Hawaii in late November 2010, I had gone out on a few of the Manta Ray night dives. During my visit I had become facinated with Manta Rays and wanted to learn more about them. I decided a few days into the trip to take the PADI speciality course, to educate myself. I learned how to identify them, know how to tell what sex they are and much more. I took the course with Keller Laros who works at Jack’s Diving Locker in Kona and is also the founder of the Manta Pacific Research Foundation. I believe that this is one of the only places in the world where you can get a PADi specialty in Manta Rays.
I then decided to go back to Kona in May of 2011 to try and see more Manta Rays during the famous night dive in Kona. I was happy to sit down with Keller to make a great video about Manta Rays, the Kona night dive and the conservation efforts that Keller went through to get Manta Rays protected in the State of Hawaii! Enjoy!
I spoke in Vancouver, BC in March about Social Media for film and small business. It was great to talk about the successes of ScubaDiverLife.com and share my findings with the very interested guests!

This is one of my favorite shots that I took from Jon & Ken’s wedding. This was taken outside the Vancouver Rowing Club in Vancouver, BC.
If I can let you know anything, it’s that these two people mean a heck of a lot to me. I have known them for only seven years. The fun and adventures that we have had together are priceless. It was hard to not cry during the wedding! During the ceremony Jon and I had made eye contact and held it for around 1 minute. He later came up to me and said that he almost lost it when that happened! I of course was balling!
The day was perfect and the days surrounding the event were just as amazing! Holding the wedding in Vancouver, BC was a brilliant idea, and I am
so grateful they did.
It turned out to be a little bit of a University reunion. With many celebrations with new and old friends.
The ceremony took place at Queen Elizabeth Park in the celebration pavilion & the reception was at the Vancouver Rowing Club.
The sun came out this day and was shining for everyone involved! How perfect!
I of course with my nifty new iPhone 4 was trying to film as much as I could. Sooooo I put together a little video of the event. (above)
Next up for these guys???? THE BABY SHOWER!! LOL 
For those of you who are transit riders in Vancouver, BC. You may have noticed posters around different Sky Train stations -stating that you can put your face on the train. What am I talking about?
Well they look like this:
InTransit BC has developed this project as part of an innovative fund raising campaign, in support of four charity partner programs. Who exactly? BC Children’s Hospital, YMCA, Arts Umbrella & Hope in Shadows.
So what exactly is The Pixel Train? Well anyone can go to ThePixelTrain.com where you can upload your picture to a Canadaline Train.
You can choose from three different sizes and actually place the photo where you want to on the train. Then after you select the spot where you want your picture to go, upload a picture of your face from your computer OR select a drawing from the gallery created by children from the charity partners.
Once all the pixels on the train have filled up – InTransit will print out and wrap one of their Canada Line Trains with the collage of photos
from donators! How cool is that!!! This will also be Canada’s largest moving Art Piece… maybe even in the world!
This is a very affordable cause starting at just $10 (see picture below) – and you get to put and place your photo on the train! What are you waiting for?
Remember that these purchases are all tax deductible, as all funds collected go right to the four charities.
By purchasing a pixel (pixels) on ITBCs virtual train, you are supporting several worthy charities and positively contributing to improving the future of many children in British Columbia.
