Wes Skiles dies diving off Boynton Beach, FL.

Wes and I first met at Bob & Bea Snyder's home
in the Jupiter Inlet Colony when Bob
first chartered the Jupiter Chapter of the Explorer's Club
of New York.

I think Wes and I were Bob's first members. Wes cast a
long shadow in the world of undersea cinema photography.
Like all true artists his spirit will live on in his many unique works...

With all the dangerous places Wes had ventured....
with all the experience in technical cave diving he possessed...
all it took was a simple reef dive to take him...
The envelop for all of us is very thin...
See you later Wes...
 

Sad to hear his life end so soon. He at least died doing what he loved most. I first met Wes through Keith Mattson when I was involved in caving. I would always stop in when he was around whenever I visited Ginnie Springs. A true pioneer in the diving industry. Rest easy, Wes.
 

How very very sad.. I will keep he and his family in my prayers.
