That's Dave Hall on the left and Rudy Benner on the right. Taken January 2000 on the M.V. Sea Dancer near Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos Islands. The smile is the result ofa week of excellent wall diving. We were typically doing 5 dives a day. Sharks, Rays and lots of other stuff. Maximum depth, 136 feet.
Dave Hall and Ron Harrigan are from Akron Ohio.
