Wet

Curt Bowen · 2nd June 2006, 04:35

I have decided to design a special section on ADM On-Line directed towards the individuals who have dedicated their lives to underwater exploration, science, photography etc...

I am seeking constructive criticism, additional ideas, or individuals who you think might qualify for this page.

Richard Pyle. Sylvia Earle. Wes Skiles.

How far back do you want to go?
Hans Hass. Jaques Yves Cousteau.

Stan Waterman, Al Giddings, Howard Hall, the film makers.
Ed Betts. Brett Gilliam. Tom Mount. Dick Rutkowsky, the educators.

And the explorers ... caves, wrecks ... so many.

Curt, I think its a great idea, and you've made a great start...

Only problem I see, as with any "Hall of Fame" type thing, you're unfortunately never gonna keep everyone happy...

As much as you add to the list, there will always be someone saying "but what about xxxx, they did more than zzzz"...

I'm sure the Kool-Aid Brigade will be miffed if you don't include George...

But for my personal list, how about John Bennett and Dr Simon Mitchell.

Maybe chuck a coupla Aussies in the mix too, Andrew Wight, Chris Brown, Ron and Val Taylor, and I'm sure there are plenty of others that could be considered... (unfortunately, I'm sure quite a few will be saying "Who"? to half my list...

Good Luck, now you've started, it'll be a big project.

/edit: I've gotta confess, there are three on your page already that I'd never heard of...

The good thing about the WET list is I have time to add plenty of people. The hard part is gathering the bio and photos.

If you have e-mail addresses for those who you mentioned, it would be great.

Of course at some point I will need to decide if the person selected is really qualified??? I guess I will need to write some criteria to be nominated so I dont piss someone off?

Any suggestions on criteria a person should have

*minimum years diving*
*continuous exploration efforts and not just one expedition*
*specific contributions to the diving public and not just personal gain*
?????
