Hey everyone,

My name is Jeanna.

I am a NAUI Instructor with Northwest Sports Divers and one half of frogkickdiving.com.

I started diving about 18 years ago for a college trip to Maui and became involved with teaching about 5 years ago.

I love perfecting my gear and skills/drills like my husband Bdub, but my true passion for diving comes from my love of critters. To further my knowledge of our underwater environment I was a diver and mammal team member at the Seattle Aquarium for 3 years.

I look forward to talking/diving with all of you. See you at "The Office".

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.

Welcome to the club. Is Bono really down to earth, or has all the fame gone to his head? :hello2: Just kidding- hope to see you in the water soon!

Welcome Jeanna!

I'm a big fan of the frog kick, especially around silty bottoms \:D/

It's great to have another instructor around. I've got to say that this little club is filling out nicely, with new divers, experienced divers and instructors in good proportion.

Thanks Kaia - I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Visibility had been really bad - but we had great luck this weekend. Great vis and a Giant Pacific Octopus "out and about". I hope we have the same luck next weekend for your first open water dives.

I saw Calvin using the Frog Kick during our night dive at hood canal.
it was cool, no silt stirring and he was close to the bottom.
I'm looking forward to trying / learning this kick more.
