Mike Randolph
AKA: "Mr. Analyst"

My interest in diving goes back to when I saw my first episode of “Sea Hunt” and found a new hero, Mike Nelson (“There was only one way to do it – under water!”). But it was not until I reached 50 that I was finally able to realize my childhood dream of becoming a SCUBA diver. Beyond the adventure of it though, diving, for me, is fundamentally another avenue for my life-long passion of exploring and learning new things (maybe That's why Blue Ocean Divers hung the “Analyzer” moniker on me). Whether it's developing an integrated cockpit for a special operations helicopter at Lockheed Martin, towing and flying sailplanes over Harris Hill in Elmira, or singing master choral works with the Binghamton Downtown Singers, the pull for me has a constant theme – the opportunity to learn something new. Achieving Divemaster certification and becoming a Blue Ocean Divers staff diver is another step in that process that I hope to continue for the rest of my life. And my most recent certification as an Ice Diver demonstrated again to me that there’s always something new to learn and do (as Mike Nelson used to say) “under water”. Here’s hoping you’ll come take that plunge into a whole new world of experience, fun, adventure, and learning, with me and the rest of the Blue Ocean Divers staff.
