Running, biking, swimming, triathlons, tennis, scuba diving, skiing, golf, yoga-name a sport, and there’s a good chance that Maria Sheffield has given it a shot. “There’s nothing lost by trying something new,” says Sheffield, an associate with Burr & Forman specializing in insurance regulation. “If it doesn’t work out, it was still a lot of fun.”

Sheffield’s latest passion is Latin dancing, which she says is as challenging physically as it is fun. But she admits her favorite pastime in her array of sporting endeavors is scuba diving, which she began doing about five years ago. Since then, she estimates she’s completed 75 dives, in places ranging from tropical paradises in the Bahamas and Hawaii to rock quarries in the South to a hot springs crater in Utah, in which she dove after a day of skiing with her husband.
