Thanks for the ping, Tonk and Dolly.
On behalf of the USS PIEDMONT (AD-17) circa (66-67) Divers, I salute you Master Diver Carl Brashear.
I would have been honored to have been your diving partner.
Hand Salute!.....two

FAir winds and following seas.
I'll see you at the final muster shipmate.

He became the only amputee deep-sea diver to reach the status of Master Diver
What can I say? Amazing.
God Bless him and his family.

This is one of those cases where on his final dive, a diver went up instead of down.

That is one of the all-time great movies. Mr. Scubachick and I love it.
God Bless You, Chief! RIP, you were a hero and a role model and a credit to our country and our troops!

I didn't know him personally, but served on the USS Hunley when Chief Brashear was on it in 1971. Everyone on the ship knew he was the diver with an artificial leg. Watching the movie later and seeing what he went through to get there gave me even more respect for him.
