Bob Soto Diving
A 30 foot glass bottom boat in Key West Florida, where I was the first mate. Well, the only mate. Just me and Don Lange, a coke chugging, cig fuming crazy captain. I bought him sandwiches to help calm his blood sugars down. We went out to the reef twice a day, carrying up to 30 passengers. Once at the reef I would raise the seats to show the glass underneath. I’d tell the life stories of the fish they were seeing, and then they would look at each other and decide to eat them at dinner. So gross. I stopped eating fish at this time.
Bob Soto Diving is a neat dive company in Grand Cayman, BWI. My friend Stan Lupkes moved there and I went to visit for some months, and clocked over 100 dives in the most beautiful water that I have ever seen. Clear visibility at 100 ft. Such a fabulous experience. Miss our fun times together, Stan.
