Back in the day , there was a dive shop close to my house where I grew up called West Coast Divers . Pot shops on every corner but no more dive stores , but lets get back to the story about the guy who would make a 250 foot deep beach dive on air at Zuma Beach into Dume Submarine Canyon that ran close to shore . He asked me to buddy up and showed me a stack of his certification cards NSS - CDS , IANDI , TDI and PSAI all Florida cave stuff . Back in the early 90,s there was not to much tec stuff happening on the West Coast and was a self taught kind of a guy so graciously declined and did not want to die with three children and a wife . He smoked cigars which I like and worked being a LAX Traffic Controller . Diving Osborn Banks and the Matterhorn Pinnacle was some of his dives and wonder if he is still alive today. God Bless and be safe. Rumdumb

Do you remember Frank Farmer? He was a West Coast regular.

Frank Farmer was a Hollywood actor and a California Wreck diver. I remember him from the diver.net days. He was a real personable guy.
I love how he is wearing a drysuit for his IMDB profile. Used a large wheel trash can for his gear bag. lol
