Our friend and dive buddy Dan "Diver Dan" Myers passed away on April 24, 2003. For those of us who knew and loved him, the world will now be a bit emptier and probably a good bit quieter.
Diver Dan will be forever on that last dive - and someday God willing, we will see him again. Remember him when you see the sun sparkle on the water, or that ever so neat perfect bubble pattern.
Dan, may your tank always have an "Ocean Fill" and may your seas always be calm. We will miss you dearly. -Mark
