Great share! Good friend of mine from the Bay Area who was a partner in the Bamboo Reef Dive Shops in SF, Berkley and Terra Linda CA in the early 1960's was great friends with Dr. Sylvia Earle and she helped him launch his career as a National Geographic photographer on a 1976 Truk Lagoon shoot (cover photo and article) that set the stage for his later success in underwater and top side photography in films such as" The Deep, The Abyss and Titanic with James Cameron" Al Giddings of Underwater Images and Images Unlimited grew up in Marin County Ca. Dr. Earle and Award Emmy Award winner Al Giddings both share the same intense love for the oceans!

Thanks again tonight Doc for sharing this as I do believe you have Bay Area roots?
