Together with her husband Brad, Lisa learned to SCUBA dive in 2001 and was immediately crazy about it. Before she had logged more dives than fingers on one hand she brought a disposable waterproof camera on a dive, pushing it way past its recommended depth of 10 feet - all the way to 50.

She enjoys hard core travel and now lives on Vancouver Island with her supportive husband in a teeny, tiny apartment on a hill.

We hover in 20’ of water anxiously watching an undulating cloud of sand, silt, fur and bubbles head our way. A welcoming committee of curious juvenile California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus) is on its way to check [...]
