From the very first time I explored the underwater beauty of the coral reefs off Australia's Magnetic Island as a boy, I was hooked. I have enjoyed many magical underwater experiences over the years: diving with great white sharks in Port Lincoln, Australia; cautiously ascending about 100 feet back-to-back with Nick Price as we maintained visual with a school of sharks that had surrounded us; cave diving; night diving; and cage diving in shark-infested waters. Most importantly, however, the water has long been an escape. It has provided countless opportunities to get away with family and close friends and experience some quality time away from golf, business and everything else that is on my plate.
