Don McAlhany (Mac): AKA: Tortuga Viejo (Old Moss Back) or more recently “The Old Walrus”. Started into diving in the early 60’s by building helmets made of 5 gallon food tins with air supplied via large bore bike tire pump and aircraft accumulators. Graduated to scuba diving in 1967, and “officially” certified in 1972 YMCA in order to get tanks filled. Obtained PADI & NAUI certs along the way, and picked up a commercial rating (Hard Hat) in 1978 from the Coastal School of Deep Sea Diving and worked commercial until 1987 doing NBC shallow (less than 250′) water diving. Mostly interested in shallow water “Grubbing”, and wreck diving. Anybody out there selling an ”inexpensive” mini-sub let him know. He is currently the President of the MUD (Michiga UnderWater Divers) Club.
