PAGE 5 - Monday Morning
KURT TERRY and MARK BUTLER got Monday off to a good start with Kurt divng Mark's Navy Mk12 rig (that's Bob Rusnak behind him with an EXO-26 on scuba) and Mark diving Kurt's Aquadyne DMC7. Then the Tuckers, Raymond and Ray (below), dived the Mk12 and DMC7 rigs together.
DAVE HILL dived with Bob Rusnak's Weidolf mask (above left),
and then Kurt Terry put Greg Platt (above right) into his DMC7.
MARK VAREY in the Aquala dress and Aquadyne AH2 posed with Tom Butts (above left), and then Tom donned the Aquala and AH2 and posed with Vince Gambal. Vince, a volunteer diver at the New Jersey State Aquarium in Camden, then fulfilled his lifelong desire to duplicate his father's experience as a MkV diver.
VINCENT P. SMITH, JR., (below left), Vince's father, was right out of high school in 1942 when he had his portrait taken during training as a U.S. Navy diver. Fifty six years later, Vince (having taken his stepfather's name) duplicated Dad's pose (below right) at Willow Springs.
