Albert Falco, longest-serving member of the Cousteau dive team and at one time Captain of the Calypso, died yesterday.
He was 84.

Wow.... are there any more still living??
God is good, no matter what!!
This, for me, marks what surely must be the end of an era, as Falco may well be the last of what I think of as 'The Old Guard' in the history of SCUBA, as well as being Cousteau's favorite diver according to contemporary accounts.
People such as this--those who pioneered the sport and brought awareness of the underwater world to the masses--will be sorely missed.

A sad day indeed. The world of Scuba is a more lonely place without Albert. I remember meeting him once in Seattle eons ago.
I once saved a man in Wichita just to watch him dive...(inventor)
