Jaws celebrates 50 years - a photo on Flickriver

            This year, Jaws the movie celebrates 50 years. When I was a young scuba diver, I was in Grand Cayman with my friend Lisa. She was dating our dive master who worked for Ron Kipp who owned Bob Soto's Dive in Grand Cayman. Peter Benchley, the author of Jaws, and Stan Waterman were in Cayman to do something for National Geographic. They were friends of Ron Kipp and his wife Kathy. One afternoon, we took the boat out with only Ron, Kathy, Peter Benchley, me, Dickie, our underwater photographer, Lisa, and Geoffrey, our boat captain. We were out for a leisurely boat ride and dive. On the boat, I was talking to Peter and then I asked him if he would sign my dive log. He gladly did and to my surprise, he even drew a shark. How cool is that? How many divers out there have their dive log signed by Peter Benchley? It was a great afternoon and a great memory.
