I am saddened to report the passing of my dive buddy of over 35 years, Stephen G Benavides. Steve was active in California marine politics as one time Southern Representive of the Recreational Advisory Abalone Committee. He was instrumental in getting the MLPA's in place in California. For that reason he was not well thought of by the commercial and recreational fishing concerns in California. 
That said, he and I went on many lobster and abalone hunting trips over the years. 
R.I.P. Steve.
