It will never be the same with the key people no longer there and I agree that they would be pleased at the efforts to keep it going. I hope that should the need come to sell that some of those that love it and support it will maybe be able to continue it, it would be a sad day to see it close. They had such a passion and love of diving and provided a means to share that with the community here as well as afar. For now as Dave (and DeDe, Luke and Ryan at times) would say "Let's Dive" and "Have Fun". Linda (not a diver, but a Mom and Nana) who shared with them in their fun!

I can't imagine dealing with their loss and business endeavors the loss is hard enough.All I can say is THANK YOU!!!! This is a gift from the family that David and De De would have wanted,this shop brought so many people together for fun and adventure,in the spirit of the Houghtons I know the staff will continue David and DeDe's dream. I can't even think of the right words I miss my friends every day. I drive by the Watsonville airport every weekend on my way to work on the scuba dive boats in Monterey. It's a bitter sweet feeling. I always thanked DeDe for the position I'm in with my diving career. She always put it back on me for all the hard work I have done. John, Cathryn and the Houghton family thank you so much for even dealing with this right now. This is the best news I have heard in a long time.
