 Big Ed graduated with me in 1979 from Florida Institute of Technology with a degree in Underwater Technology. We both were commercial oilfield divers in the Gulf of Mexico during the 1980's. Big Ed was without question one of the safest and competent divers I have ever had the privelege of diving with. Ed is old school. Anyone enrolling in his course will be trained at the highest level.
