Thanks Don - I remember all those names very well. When I started spearfishing in the 50's Skin Diver Magazine was always full of photos and stories of these guys and their club. But I hadn't realized how small they kept their membership. Great article - thanks!
I read a paperback book years ago of those guys free diving in La Jolla, it hand pictures of them on the grass at the Cove will piles of abalone and lobsters. Is that book still in print?
An interesting and inspiring story.
I wonder how Jimmy is doing, I didn't get a chance to ask about him during my last trip to SD
