Dr.Wheeler North!
95 views and not one comment!
Dr.Wheeler North was a diver, researcher, educator, author and highly respected member of the pioneer tribe. He was one of the most informed brilliant gentleman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Although he had the title of "Doctor" from his SIO PhD, he preferred to be addressed simply as "Wheeler."
He was an author of a concise SCUBA instruction book long before it was popular to put another dollar in to purchase diving knowledge.
The San Clemente pier plaque was placed in his honor for his kelp bed research and the large artificial reef established in his name off then city of San Clemente.
When you return home to Upland, the diving capital of the IE, it is suggested that you research Dr Wheeler North and post your findings...
