\"Psycho<\/p>\n

The name “Psycho Solo Diver” originated out of the need for a nickname in the diving community.<\/p>\n

To make a long story short, I was solo diving for a student’s lost weight belt in 15 feet of water and another student called me “psycho” for “solo diving.”<\/p>\n

For circumstances that I don’t want to get in to, I made the nickname stick as the ones that were chosen by others were not as flattering.<\/p>\n

From before my first dive, my friend and original instructor Ed told me to keep a record of my dives – where, when, conditions, temperature and air consumption for future reference.<\/p>\n

I wish I had followed his advice from the very beginning.<\/p>\n

After diving for four months and probably having 20 or so dives under my belt, I opened up a Journal Book and started to record my dives.<\/p>\n

After over five years of diving in the Southern California area, I had four solid volumes of narration and pictures of the dives I’ve made, what I’ve seen, the people who I’ve met and the mistakes that I, and others, have made.<\/p>\n

Having no audience to entertain, educate and enlighten, I transcribed all the entries and scanned and copied all the photographs to electronic format.<\/p>\n

Care has been taken to preserve the privacy of those who I have met through the years.<\/p>\n

No last names are used and, in certain circumstances, no pictures or real names are used at all.<\/p>\n

Speaking of that…<\/p>\n
