Recently, I teamed up with Brad Thompson from OC Spearos, and Jon from Cast and Spear for a good cause. We spoke with Ryan Huff's widow, Diana Huff. Ryan drowned open day of lobster season last year. Now, Brad Thompson, Jon Stenstrom and I joined forces to support this wonderful fund that can help save lives.
The OC Spearos’ Ryan Huff Memorial Scholarship Fund is taking donations! Applications to earn your scholarship for freedive education and certification will be posted in the next couple of weeks. Please give to help fund this initiative.
