Scuba Diving

  • I am a registered and insured PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer and Emergency First Response Instructor (#197599) with teaching specialties in Night, Deep, Ice, Wreck Diving, Dry Suit, Photography, Enriched Air, and a few more. I teach mainly on request whenever there's some interest in any level of certification up to PADI Divemaster.
Judo

  • I'm a Shodan ranked Judo player and a support instructor at the Emerald City Judo club.
Meditation

  • I practice Loving-Kindness (“Mettā” in Pāli) Meditation as the Buddha taught it and under the guidance of my teacher Venerable Bhante Vimalaraṁsi. I don't follow any particular tradition, religion, or any rites and rituals; instead I refer to a good translation of the original teachings of the Buddha as it can be found in this version of the Majjhima Nikāya, the middle length discourses. Detailed meditation instructions can be found in Bhante's book “The Breath of Love” (epub, mobi, or pdf) and in this flyer on mindfulness practice for beginners.
