Oh wow. Scott was someone I looked up to greatly. I used his website Emerald Sea Photography a great deal for reference. He was a member of the Kelp Krawlers, our local dive club. The dive world will not be the same without you.

That is a real bummer. I corresponded with him a few times regarding site info. He was always happy to help out. Great website and wealth of knowledge.

This is really sad.

I never got the chance to meet him in person, but boydski was always helpful here and a wealth of knowledge.
