Thanks for visiting our webpage. ScubAHH.com is a site for scuba divers by scuba divers. My name is Branon A. Edwards. I am the creator/instigator at ScubAHH.com, and I’m an avid scuba diver, freediver, and spearfisherman living in Florida. I’m also a licensed real estate broker, marketing consultant, and a freelance writer/editor.
However, my primary passion is DIVING! I made my first scuba dive when I was 9 years old and have been hooked ever since. I grew up in Cooper City, but have also lived in Miami, Naples, Hollywood, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, Fort Lauderdale, Cocoa, and Indian Harbour Beach as well as Greensboro, Raleigh, Wendell, Wilmington, and Topsail Island in North Carolina. I have served as a writer and editor for DeeperBlue Magazine. I’ve been interviewed for a variety of publications including The Wall Street Journal, The New Times, and others. I also publish several blogs and run some other cool websites.
I have been freediving and scuba diving for over 40 years and have been certified since age 13 (1983). I earned my PADI Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver Certifications in 1989 and my PADI Divemaster Certification in 2003. I’ve been spearfishing and lobstering most of my life with the majority of my experience in South Florida and the Keys as well as some diving in the Carolinas.
Whether you’re a scuba diver, snorkeler, freediver, spearfisherman, lobster diver, underwater photographer or just a marine enthusiast, ScubAHH.com something for you!
