well not a teen anymore but that's when it started ,my dad's a project manager for a very big construction company and I spend lots of time with him in the Bahamas and the caymans while he was on jobs building sandals and 4 seasons resorts and every chance I had was diving on the reefs and after I got back to lovely south Carolina was missing it a lot so that's how it started think my 1st success big tank was at 18 ish
