Axel Sproul has posted a powerful tribute to the late Wes Skiles on Vimeo. It includes film shot of and by Wes during cave diving projects, as well as interviews with him. Wes Skiles died on July 21, 2010 while diving off Boynton Beach, FL. His career included many credits in broadcast television and film for PBS and National Geographic.

Comment(s):Beautiful tribute… the sense of utter passion in Wes as he talks about the diving is something that few can say they genuinely experience.

The front page and images of this month National Geographic are a testament to his talent and dedication.
