Larry got his scuba diving certification in 2008, doing open water dives in Puget Sound, just north of Seattle. He soon began cold-water diving regularly, initially logging around 100 dives a year and got his wife and daughters into Puget Sound diving. Larry got his first underwater camera setup in 2010 and started taking photos on almost every dive. Diving and underwater photography have taken him and his wife to Mexico, Honduras, Grenada, Iceland, St. Eustaitius, Turks & Caicos, British Columbia, the Philippines, the Maldives, Palau, and Indonesia.
