Picture Of Matt Diving His Dream

[Capt Gary]

There was a person in the water taking pictures on Matts first ocean dive 11/14/06. Here is one that will be sent out to the press documenting the event.

As for the video and the Today show. They will be airing it shortly. I'll ensure to let everyone know when that date will be. The producer ensured me we'd get a copy of the finished video. From what I saw it was totally kewl.

After his first ocean dive Matt and I were sitting on the swim platform of my boat letting him rest. Matt said, "Hey Capt Gary", I turned to him and with a tear forming in his eye, he told me, "Thanks dude this is awsome."
Well after hearing that I have to admit I had a few tears going myself.

Matt you're the best friend a guy could have. Thank you for letting me be a part of this history making event. Your Friend Forever....Capt Gary

There were a lot of people who helped Matt's dream come true. Some have been working for over 3 years on this. I thank those behind the scenes supporters who worked so hard to help Matt. My mask is off to you...

Good Diving,

Thanks Capt. Gary for the photo and, much more importantly, your contribution to Matt's dream.

Please will someone in the US of A upload the video of Matt's dive to Youtube (for the rest of us) when it airs?

Cheers,

Andrew
