    11-Year Old Sets World Record Scuba Diving

    The following is a link to an article written by Calvin Tang, discussing my son, Evan, and some of his dive activities. One of the areas of discussion was his dive in Antarctica. At the age of 11 years old, he became the youngest person to dive below the Antarctic Circle. Teens are far more capable than many give them credit for! I hope you enjoy it!

    Evan is quite capable ... and lucky to have a dad who has been there and done that.

    Dear Ditch-Diver,
    LOL!!
    Tell your son that if he has the 2nd coolest Dad ever, he's a VERY lucky kid!
    Maybe the boys can get together and dive some day!

    These were recently written up in local newspapers about my son (Evan Bozanic, added for the search engines, since I neglected to add it the first time.) :-(
