Lyne was one of the first divers who reached out to me when I was hot mess of a new diver. The more I warned her what a mess I was, the more she insisted that we dive. It wasn't out of duty, or concern, or pity, but out of a sheer joy of diving with new divers and showing them a world that she knew better than most.
One of the greatest compliments I received as a diver was when Lynne told someone that I was green, but a good diver.
She was a tiny little thing in a funny hat, but she is greatly missed in my heart and in so many others.
Peter, my heart is broken for you. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Do "Right Things" rather than "things right".
Conquer your fears & you will be blessed with inner peace & serenity.
I feed "Good Wolf", learn from Eagles, smell Rose Anemones & dance with Sea Stars.
I respect ALL Creatures & Diversity.
