dive trips to mexico

when i went to the u of a, i wanted to be a marine biologist, so i would go on alot of 'dive trips' in mexico. here are a few shots from some time in 1974. this is me at the university of sonora in san carlos, probably getting license signed to use 'pronoxfish' in order to collect.







this was a common sight, my home on the beach. i would load up and spend long weekends diving all over the gulf. long hard days and fun nights drinking hot beer.




this is a picture taken in la paz, at the southern tip of baja. yes, a beach party town i spent a few days and evenings at.

i was asked wtf is pronoxfish? that was a very powerful poison we used to kill fish in an area and then collect them. you had to be approved by the us gov't.; the u of a; mexico gov't. and by the uiv. of senora. it always took me hours to get the sigs and approvals.(as always,steve did the things for the group even then, so i always went down early on fridays if we were going to collect.
