In memoriam of Paul Humann (1937-2024). Without his ID books, I suspect I would not have been such an enthusiastic diver. I only met Paul once, on a trip to Lembeh. On a boat going to a site, I was preparing for the dive, putting on my gear, checking and (pointlessly) re-checking my camera & regulators, going through my embarrassingly lengthy mask de- fogging ritual, etc. Sweating in my wetsuit, I noticed that Paul was sitting in his shorts, just gazing at the scenery. As we pulled up to the site, it seemed to me that Paul just casually pulled out what looked like a cheap airplane life jacket, blew into it a couple of times, and slipped into the water, before I had even got my fins on. Very cool.
