For my first post this is not one that I was expecting to make.

Ten years ago I was certified by Chris and continued through to the instructor. He quickly became a close friend. It is a great loss to the diving community that Chris has passed. For those that knew him he will always be remembered. My heart goes out to his daughters and family.
