David White
Nick name: Scooperu
Age: 54
Occupation: Independent Business Owner
Current Certification Level: MSDT
Best Scuba Course Ever Taken & Why: U/W Naturalist
- Dave Howlett introduced me to the study of the fish, creatures,
corals and sponges that comprise the reef. The fascination
continues today and it is considered a good dive to observe
a creature or a behaviour that has not previously been witnessed.
Favorite Course(s) To Teach & Why: Open Water Class/Pool
- This is how the adventure begins. This is when the opportunity
to develop good dive habits is strongest. This is where a
difference can be made.
| Dive Experience: |
| Salt Water -
Baja, Bonaire, Costa Rica (3), Cozumel (4), Florida,
North Carolina, Roatan. |
| Fresh Water -
Bala, Barrie, Kingston, Tobermory |
Best Dive(s): Was the best
dive the first dive, the last dive or will it be the next
dive? Who knows, it has been said that a bad day of diving
is still better than a good day at work. Oh, this is my work…hmmm…sucks
to be me.
Worst Dive: This is like the Abominable Snowman or
Bigfoot. Rumours of their existence abound yet I have no personal
experience with such things. A "worst" dive…who
would have thought it possible. Then again, doing open water
certifications at Big Bay Point in November is not high on
my list of reasons to get out of bed.
Other Interests: You mean that there is more to life
than diving? Oh yes, driving…small cars, really fast
small cars. And technology; computers, video cameras, underwater
housings, software and stuff.
Little Known Fact About Me: Was the second person to
scale the CN Tower. When you are scaling a vertical ladder
and you are not the lead dog, the view never changes.
Personal Goal(s): To make the rest of my days the best
of my days.
Personal Motto: Success is the quality of your journey,
not your destination.
Inspirational words: "What
lies behind you and what lies before you pales in significance
when compared to what lies within you." - Ralph Waldo
Emerson.
Kudos: To Alec for providing the forum, to Diana for
calming the waters, to the other leaders for their encouragement
and commitment, and to the students for their enthusiasm.
