I would suspect the title and the price will prohibit most diving bibliophiles who post on this board from purchasing it. But you never know when you walk into a book store and there it is ...staring at you in the bargin book table for a buck--so heads up! (especially the Canadian book hound of the frozen north - he is like those truffle hunting pigs- he smells hidden books.)
I know (knew?) all the divers on the trip as well as Carlos. He and I were both members of the Long Beach Neptunes Spear Fishing club but at different times, (about 30 -40 years apart). We also moved away from SoCal to CenCal about the same time. He settled in a very small bucolic beach side town of Cayucos for many years. During this period in Carlos' life we were occasionally in contact , it was apparent that he was enjoying the tranquil life of the California central coast but longed for his native state of Hawaii and all to soon he was gone. Back were he belonged-- to Hawaii
Yes I have this book and most of Carlos's books personally inscribed to me by Carlos to me- And Yes I am delighted to note the price increase!
