From left to right: My oldest son Bert (18), me (Cary) helping my youngest son Brad (12) get ready for his first Abalone Dive, and my Brother Clay. This was one of my favorite Abalone dives ever because the ocean was very good that day and it was the first time to get both of my boys in the water. They are both hooked on diving now, and when I can no longer go out myself (hopefully many years from now) I know that they will be more than happy to keep me supplied with Abalone (provided it will still be a legal activity ten or fifteen years from now.
