Sheer Curiosity - Celebrity Sightings?

Just for fun, who is the most famous person you have been diving with? We found ourselves on a boat with Judge Alex once in Key Largo. Ok, so he's not a movie star or rock persona, but he's on tv and he was a nice guy (he and his son seemed to be good divers). That's my best story. I keep hoping I'll run into Tiger Woods or Jessica Alba, but they're not going where I'm going so far ...

I was on a dive boat with Dr Bill on trip to Catalina a few years ago.

You need to get out of Missouri.

True! I actually saw Arnold Schwarzennegger (sp?) up close once - I was with my kids at the Hyannis Sheraton (Cape Cod). He was with his then-wife, Maria Shriver. My kids and I basically stalked them out to their car (I was totally starstruck) and he turned to the kids, waved and said "Hi kids". After they drove off I realized I had my camera in my fanny pack (no comments about my dorky fanny pack please!).

You really must leave Missouri. I left North Alton (Godfrey) with my parents dogs and a mini-bike when I was 12 and a half year'n old. Get out now, while you still can.

Hey, I've dove with Dr Bill once. I spent a week or two on a boat with John Chatterton. I've had dinner with Jill Hienerth and even stayed in her Yurt. I feel that I'm on a first name basis with a litany of infamous rogues such as Jim Wyatt and Steve Lewis. I know a lot of the current movers and shakers in our industry as well as a number of the legends. Who needs movie stars?

I flushed the head on Richie Kohler while he was doing a deco hang on the Lillian wreck off NJ.

That was pretty crappy, dude. I've had dinner with him a few times. He loves Thai!

Moi? I ain't no celebrity. I've dived with Jean-Michel Cousteau, Dr. Guy Harvey, Wyland and a few others. Now they ARE celebrities!

20+ years ago, I was "instabuddied" with Ben Vereen (singer, dancer, actor for the younger folks )
Good diver, nice guy.
