He has successfully completed the basic cave course and is currently working towards his teaching credentials in the TecRec courses. His goal is to teach technical diving in Florida and the Caribbean.

North Florida offers some great diving both offshore and inland. There are scores of fantastic dive spots off of Jacksonville and St. Augustine, as well as many wonderful freshwater springs to explore inland. He has traveled to many places seeking out the best dive spots around.

Jerry highly recommends Curacao, Belize, Phuket, and the Philippines as these are a few of his favorite places.
