Since 1997 John Dubina tackled the Caribbean by SCUBA diving Bahamas, Cozumel, Belize, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos, St Kitts, St Maarten, Statia, and Saba. At times visiting the same places many of times. Sky diving right out of High School, and skiing the slopes of New Mexico balanced out the underwater exploits. When he tried White Water Rafting last year he fell head over heels for it.

John’s sense of adventure all began as an 11 year old while living in Europe for 4 years. From that time on new and challenging objectives found there way into his life. Like blindly and with no prior research or reservations he traveled to Spain for 2 weeks and toured the whole of the country from the heart of Spain in Madrid to the Basque Country of the North, through Hemmingway's Pamplona down to the coast through Barcelona, Malaga and finally arriving in Gibraltar. Visiting Germany many times he found the pleasure in meeting new people and learning new cultures. The trips to Austria, Czech Republic, Poland and Paris heightened this.

And now through a friendship with Louis a new and more demanding exploration has an opportunity to start. “Not only will this trip stress the physical limits of my abilities but also the mental ones. And if this trip succeeds the possibility of other trips titillates me beyond measure. As with everything else in life this trip will benefit Children’s Cancer Research by way of contributions. Having a 2 year old makes me look at life under a new light, and if I have the opportunity to help other children then that is the least I could do for being blessed with a healthy child of my own.”
