I don't know where to start, so I will just get to the point.
I started organizing dives/picnics/boats, a few years ago, to give divers a place to meet and dive, above and beyond the usual once a month dive schedule of others. This worked great and went good for awhile. I decided to step it up a few notches and organize a tight knit group. What came of that was the Beach Crabs.
I started the Beach Crabs as a place for new divers to have a place to join other divers, with more experiance, to learn from others, and enjoy beach and boat diving, here in SoCal. As time goes on, the once new divers, find buddies, and most move on, to come back every once in a while, to dive with the Beach Crabs again. This is fine, and everyone has the right to do so. I have seen many, come and go. Most have been concidered close friends of mine. They are always replaced by a new core group.
Sometimes it is hard to not dive with buddies I have become friends with, But, then I look at all the people I have helped, taught, and all this just organizing dives. I have started a base foundation for a lot of divers to build on. I want to thank every last one of you, for being there, for making the Beach Crabs what they are.
I am going into surgery tomorrow, for a wrist problem. I will be out of commission for awhile. I am needing your help now. Please keep this great group going, and continue to give the new divers, and inexperianced divers, a place to dive, picnic, and discover the wonders that we have here, in SoCal.
I will be back, and I will still do what I can in this forum. But, it looks like I may not be diving for a while.
Thank you,
Rick
