Peter Jones

[AWMIII]

I received word 2 days ago that formerly frequent poster on this forum Peter Jones has passed. Peter, Peterbj7 on here, has helped many visitors to San Pedro. He was especially helpful to a scuba board poster who was bent there a couple of years ago. I have no details on his passing except that it was in his home in San Pedro and was not suspicious. I had the honor of joining Peter on his last dive 2 weeks ago. Here a a couple of videos that I shot during my stay. He was with us for one of the 13 dives contained in these videos.

He has been a resource for better or worse to this community.

Rest in peace Peter.

The autopsy showed a heart attack as the cause of death.

Sad news indeed. Peter was somewhat of a colorful character in dive circles, and will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear this. We hadn't talked in a while but I'll still feel his absence.

My deepest sympathy to his friends and family.

On Tuesday,November 24th Peter Jones was discovered dead of natural causes in his home.
Peter Brandon Jones of Great Britain was one of the island greatest SCUBA diving enthusiast and promoted technical diving through his dive shop on Ambergris Caye for many years before his retirement. Mr. Jones was 68 years old.

A frequent poster on scubaboard under the name Peterbj7.

Really sorry to hear that.

Peter was a frequent contributor here for years, and his wealth of knowledge about diving in general and AC in particular will be missed. He hadn't been around much the last couple of years, and I wondered if he was having health issues.

Peter could be a bit cantankerous at times. For whatever reason, he really disliked another SB member who had lived on AC for a time and those two used to get into some royal battles here. And he didn't suffer fools gladly. But he was always quick with a joke and generous with advice. I hoped to meet him in person someday but never made my way to AC (yet).

RIP, Peter.

I always enjoyed Peter's posts. He knew a lot about diving in general and Ambergris Caye in particular. He was very generous to those who sought advice on the Belize board.

RIP Peter.
