Just notified this afternoon that Sergio Sandoval Sr passed away at 81. He was the former owner of Aquatic Sports and the Swordfish dive boat.He was a great guy and a world class photographer and he will be missed.

That's sad news. I never dove with him but heard good things about his dive outfit. I did however meet him & spend some time talking photography at the air show back in 2012.

I dove with him a few years back. Did some fantastic dives and he also put one heck of a spread out during the surface interval. It was a highlight diving with him for sure.

Sad. Sergio was a sweetheart of a man, very interesting to converse with, and passionate about the sport. Sergio talked to me about diving with JYC and showed me a few of his inventions such as a camera case made from a scuba tank and lexan. I got a chuckle out of him when I pointed out his regulator was the only one on the boat older than my mine-had me beat by a decade and a half.

Agree with the above re the surface interval feeding.

RIP Sergio.
