“I was having trouble seeing my Cobra underwater and unfortunately, I couldn’t reach for my cheap reading glasses (I have a pair in just about every room of the house because I refuse to carry then with me or around my neck - we’ll call it denial).

Presenting Tom Kendrick, author of Bluewater Gold Rush
Date: Monday, March 10, 2008
Time: 7pm
Location: Compadres restaurant - 505 Lincoln Avenue, Napa
Hosted by: Napa Valley Divers
Sonoma county resident Tom Kendrick was a California sea urchin diver for 22 years. His diving career originated from his search for secret surf spots at the Channel Islands, and took him from Santa Barbara to Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, northern California, and the shark-infested Farallon Islands. His book, Bluewater Gold Rush, has been featured in California Diving News, The Surfer’s Journal, National Fisherman, Historical Diving Magazine, and the PBS television show, Huell Howser’s California’s Gold. A screenplay is currently in production.

An associate gave me a relatively new aluminum scuba tank (it had previously been used to refill paintball guns).

Wanting to know more, I searched the web and found this article which I thought was worth sharing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
