Diver death in Florida
#1

Zak was well-known and well liked in the PNW diving community before he moved to Florida to take a position with Pro-Dive as a course director. I did business with him as a customer when he was the manager of the Everett Underwater Sports dive shop. Just so happens my first warm water dive was with Pro-Dive when I was living in Florida.

I was sorry to hear about a diver dying, but I think this happened a couple months ago.
No kidding? I did say "sorry" and "belated", but I guess you missed that? Perhaps you need to look up the meaning of the word. One thing for certain, I don't need snotty responses like this!

I didn't know Zak, in fact I'd never heard of him before I read the stories of his death, but everything I've read indicates he was a fine man. He apparently has lots of friends in the dive industry, especially in the PNW, SE Florida and Belize.
Briny, my post was not meant to be snotty or disrespectful in any way. I apologize since it obviously came across that way to you. My sympathy to everyone who knew this man.

Well, Briny misunderstood my post, but perhaps this man was a close personal friend and he's upset. I'm sure noone here meant any disrespect, but if he were a friend of mine, I might take the smilies and other light comments in a way other than how they were intended.

Accepted. Sorry I flew off the handle.

Zak had a very infectious personality, you only needed to meet him once to like him immensely. He was the voice/MC of our annual Diver's Fair put on by Underwater Sports when he was here in the NW.
