Six years ago Ric Johnson was diagnosed with cancer. Over the next five years he underwent more than seventeen surgeries only to be told that he had 5-12 months to live. A little more than a year ago he came to us wanting to dive the Monitor and asked if we would train him.  With an unending amount of energy Ric has completed close to 180 dives in that time and also was undergoing some special treatments with chemist Dr. David Walker. Recently he was given a complete clean bill of health from a major oncology hospital in Phoenix, AZ.
 
Joel Silverstein and Capt. Kathy Weydig discuss Ric's dreams and accomplishments in this short interview.
