I have been a diver for just over 10 years now and have over 100 dives logged. I have been lucky enough to experience some great diving in quite a few wonderful destinations but I live in one of the best dive spots in the world, South Florida. You can’t beat the Keys. Diving is my stress reliever and each time I get in the water, it is better than the last. I gain more knowledge each time I dive.


My other passion is writing. That is how I stumbled upon DiveBuddy.com with the help of Greg Davis. I am the National Water Sports Examiner for www.examiner.com. (http://www.examiner.com/water-sports-in-national/hope-wilkos).

I also write for another website out of New York and go back and forth throughout the year to cover events. I write on a variety of topics from fashion to entertainment to charity causes to politics to dive destinations and more. (www.purefamemedia.com). Check out my writing when you get a chance.



I am excited to become a part of DiveBuddy.com and look forward to taking advantage of everything that the site has to offer.
