Gold Lace Nudi - Diving in Kauai 2019

Gold Lace Nudi - Diving in Kauai 2019

Pollo's last dive... March 2020, Cozumel, gentle shepherd of the sea

Pollo's last dive... March 2020, Cozumel, gentle shepherd of the sea

I was fortunate to be diving with Pollo on the Friday before his untimely death. It was the strangest of events. The following Monday morning some rogue waves came in and caused his fatal accident at Aqua Safari’s pier at the harbor. I “just happened” to be with Pollo on his last dive day… we were at the back of the pack and this wonderful turtle came into view… it was the perfect opportunity to get the rare pic of a wonderful dive master friend - who could know… well I believe God knows… and felt a deep privilege to have been there at that moment. Blessings to you Pollo… your family and friends… and the One who loves you most…
