The following comments were made by divers who have viewed "Dive Dry with Dr. Bill" underwater video footage with a live narration:

"[Dr. Bill] was a huge hit! [His presentation] was very informative, well put together and everyone totally enjoyed his presentation. We can't wait to have him return next year. [To] anyone looking for a guest speaker I would highly recommend Dr. Bill." - K.M. and A.M., SSI Dive Con
"[Dr. Bill] was amazing! One of (if not the) most well-received speakers we've had. A group of us who were there to hear him actually spent this past weekend diving in Avalon. His presentations were one of the main topics of conversation, especially as we saw some of the creatures and behaviors he pointed out in the videos he showed. I can't wait for him to come back and do another lecture on the other topics he presents on. He truly is one of our great diving resources here in So Cal! - Stacy Friedow, Shark Bait Dive Club
"Great presentation. It's really fantastic to see this sort of footage for local diving." - Anastasia Laity, Sole Searcher's Dive Club
"I was blown away by [Dr. Bill's] presentation. I personally enjoyed the behavior segments because I've never seen these things before, and they taught me more about the behavior of these species." - Mark Kampe, PADI instructor, Sole Searcher's Dive Club
"Dr. Bill's video... was amazing! I never knew some of the behaviors of commonly seen animals... The footage he had was some of the best representation of our local marine life I've seen!" Kaz Aizawa, President, Sole Searcher's Dive Club
"My cats come running to the TV every time they hear the sound of Dr. Bill's regulator. "Dive Dry with Dr. Bill" is their favorite TV show. They just love to watch the fishes and lick their whiskers. - R.G., Avalon
