Forged in the heart of the Adirondacks, Cuda now lives in Key Largo, Florida where he teaches current and aspiring divers to navigate the aquatic realm.

As a husband, military veteran, altruistic kidney donor, and failing comedian, he does his best to keep each day interesting.

Worth noting is that no great instructor is self-made. The quality of training provided by Barracuda Dundee Diving is credited entirely to the incredible array of mentors who've chosen to impart their knowledge.
