When is a rope actually a line? 🪢

Here’s a rule every diver and sailor learns early:

A ROPE is just cordage — unassigned, sitting in a bag, not yet put to work.

A LINE is a rope with a job.

Once it’s rigged, named, or serving a purpose — it’s a line.

→ Tow float? Line.
→ Dive reel? Line.
→ Anchor? Line.
→ Random coil in your gear bag? That’s still a rope.

There’s an old saying in seamanship: “There are no ropes on a boat.” Because every piece of cordage has a name and a function.

Same rule applies underwater.

Know your gear. Know its name. The language of diving exists for a reason — precision matters when you’re below the surface.

The fundamentals don’t care how experienced you are.
Week 13 of my 50 by 50 journey — I kicked off SSI Divemaster training, passed the underwater fitness test, and completed my Nitrox certification. That’s 4 of 5 required SSI specialties done.
No gym this week. The pool was the gym.
And quietly, without chasing it — 212.5 lbs. The lowest bodyweight I’ve recorded since December 2016.
491 days into this journey. 11.5 goals complete. 945 days until I turn 50.
The clock’s running. So am I.

I’ve always been an explorer at heart.

Driven to see more. Experience more. Push into places most people never go.

But nothing — nothing — pulls at me like the underwater world.

Scuba diving doesn’t just feed that hunger. It touches something deep in my soul.

This is where I belong. 🌊🤿

🐻 World Bear Day

Bears aren’t just powerful animals… they’re a reflection of how well we’re protecting the wild.

Some incredible organizations are leading the way:

🌲 :protecting critical grizzly habitat

🧊 :fighting for polar bears as sea ice disappears

🩺 rescuing and rehabilitating black bears

And right here in Utah, Utah’s is helping educate, support research, and give bears a voice through every person who walks through their gates.

If you want to make a difference:

• Support conservation groups
• Learn how to prevent human bear conflicts
• Make small choices that help protect our planet

Because protecting bears means protecting something bigger than ourselves.

Back in the water. 🏊‍♂️ 800 yards today — drills, distance, and a cool down that reminded me why I love this. The pool doesn’t care what kind of day you’re having. It just asks you to show up.

Working on Goal #9 of my 50 by 50 journey: completing my SSI Diver Stress and Rescue certification.

Spent the evening finishing the last of our pool work with an incredible group of people and an awesome team at . This class really changes how you think underwater. It’s not just about being a better diver; it’s about being ready to help when something goes wrong.

Knowing I can potentially make a difference for someone in trouble is a powerful feeling.

Next up: open water dives in a few days. Let’s see how the training holds up in the real world.

Sometimes the goal changes, but the mission doesn’t.

My big goal for 2025 was to get off my CPAP machine. I did everything my doctor asked. I lost 40 lbs and lowered my BMI, hoping that would fix the problem.

But after my latest appointment, I got some tough news. My airway is structurally narrow, and my overnight oxygen levels still drop too low. In other words, this isn’t something weight loss alone can fix.

So now it’s time to pivot.

If I can’t eliminate the CPAP, the new challenge is figuring out how to live the life I want with it.

That means learning how to travel with it, power it in remote places, and still chase the big goals I’ve set for myself. Hiking to Everest Base Camp. Diving deep wrecks. Exploring places most people never see.

Same mission. New strategy.

Follow along as I figure out how to make it all work.

But what about the weather?

Rain. Rain. Rain.
And then… a clear sky exactly when the blood moon hits.

That feels like a sign.

Should I go, or is it too much of a gamble?

What would you choose?

February 27 is National Polar Bear Day. Today I stopped by the Utah Hogle Zoo to spend some time watching the polar bears. Seeing them up close reminds you how massive and truly majestic these animals are. They are also a threatened species, and learning about them is one small way we can help protect them.

If you get the chance, visit Hogle Zoo or your local zoo and spend some time with the animals. Understanding them is the first step toward caring, and caring is what leads to conservation.

If you live nearby, consider becoming a member of Hogle Zoo. It is a small but mighty zoo doing meaningful work for wildlife and conservation.

The other day, I mentioned a Scuba skills update, casually noting I was one step closer to my big goal. Someone asked, What’s the big goal? And I realized—I’ve been talking about my 50 by 50 goals like everyone knows them.

At the core, it’s simple: travel the world, push my limits, grow, and maybe ditch my CPAP. Everything else? Just stepping stones. By 2028, I’ll know for sure if I pulled it off.
