Re: Diving Pioneer Jim Stewart passes on at 89
Thanks for sharing Pete.
This part on how he got his start is particularly good.
"Born Sept. 5, 1927, Stewart was a native of San Diego and began diving in 1941—before the use of scuba. At the age of 14, he first borrowed a friend's dive mask at La Jolla Cove. He put his head under water, started freediving, and quickly became a very accomplished freediving spear fisherman in high school."
