Steve Bumenthal Mermaids

Just over a week ago I read in a Pattaya freebie magazine that Steve of Mermaid Divers was dead.

Just shocked me as I used to know him quite well when he first moved to Pattaya.

 

Can anybody confim this.

 

Or is it a mistake.

No it just said he used to write the 'Out for a Beer' column for the same publication which I didnt know.

 

No information about when or how. Just someone saying he was sad to hear the news.

Steve died mid-December this year...here is one thread about his death.

Thanks for that Martin I hoped it was a mistake.

 

I am stunned. Havnt seen him for over a year but he was great help to me when I returned to diving in the mid 1990's

Very sad.

My condolences to his lovely family and my thoughts to all his many friends.

 

He once found me after searching for 4 hours when I was adrift with two other divers.

 

Great Chap.
