It is with a heavy heart that I notify everyone that one of my best friends and fellow diver Jim Meere has passed away yesterday. Jim has been fighting a battle with throat cancer for a few years that finally got the best of him. Jim was a great part of Sunny Seas Scuba from almost day one in October 1992. Jim went on almost all of our dive trips throughout the years to the Florida Keys, many islands in the Bahamas, Central America, Roatan, Belize, Cozumel Mexico and cruise and dive trips to the Bahamas and Cozumel Mexico. Jim also ventured out the Western Pacific for Sunny Seas Scuba to scope out future dive trips to the Pacific to Palau and Fiji. Jim was also a Navy veteran. I cannot tell you the loss of such a great friend and fellow diver. Jim was Mr. Personality on all the dive trips and at the monthly dive club meetings at Sunny Seas Scuba. Jim kept everyone laughing, and I will never forget his addictive laugh that cracked us all up. Jim, you will be missed by all of us from Sunny Seas Scuba and I know a ton of your friends. Rest in eternal peace my dear friend. You are going to be sorely missed.
