    It is the Santa Barbra maritime museum whale watching boat! Glen flew his helicopter into the steel cable that goes across the Colorado River at Lee's Ferry! The passengers family sued and the estate had to sell it at auction to satisfy the judgment! The dive community lost not only a great guy, but a wonderful dive boat! It was decorated by the Navy for helping a Navy Sub in the open sea!

    Unfortunately in America the entire country wants to take everyone else to court.

    Anyway, keep posting the pics, I love them.

    And you are 100% on the money with no excuse to take more photos. The funny thing is I always have the camera with me but I don't actually take many photos. I will make an effort to snap more photos, thanks for the inspiration.

    Ace, it was said that they found TCP in his system! So although I doubt he was doing it and flying it was in his system!

    We were young, oh so young, and we took on the underwater world without Computers, Backup Regulators, or even Air Gages! We went with unbalanced first stages and breathed the tank until it got hard to breath and then you headed up! It is so funny to listen to debts about bringing back 500psi to the boat! On a single 72cubic foot tank you got 45 to 55 minutes as long as you could suck those last couple breaths! Your dive plan was finish your dive shallow!

    Santa Cruz Island maybe the best all around diving in Southern California! It is pristine and wild.... It is the where you can see a Mako and a Great White on the same day! The Sea Lions are plentiful and friendly and the bottom can be a carpet of Starfish! This place even on the old Emerald hooked me on diving!

    Painted Cave is the second largest Sea Cave on the west coast! It is big enough to pull the boat into it completely, which was done anytime we were close to it! But then again Glen was a risk taker!


    At one point in my diving history I was going out on the Emerald at least once a month! But then Gas was 33.9 per gallon!
