Today one of my oldest dive mates passed, we had know each other since 1980, so many adventures, so much time watching the compass.
He died of illness.
If God made a Champion Skindiver it would be Rene Rojas. What a smile, what a warmth of heart, always giving help and knowledge when not at sea doing hard work urchin harvesting. A Capt whose brown salty hands I would always put my life in... and never worry. I will apply what you have taught me about Mother Ocean as long as I know her. I'll see you someday in the blue.
