Message from Peter Toth:

"St Stephan, King of Hungary: June 2008, I finished statue #73. This is a very important statue to me, as it is my first one on the European Continent. St Stephan was the first King of Hungary, around 1000 AD, and he introduced Christianity to the country. If not for him, there would be no Hungary today." It is located about 20 miles from Budapest, in the town of Delegyhaza. It is in a Park dedicated to King Stephan, adjacent to the Post Office."

Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman is the home of some of the most beautiful diving in the world. There are over 50 different dive sites located along the wall which is about ¼ mile from the shoreline of Seven Mile Beach.

The boat can anchor with its bow over the 30 ft. depth, and its stern over the 7,000 ft. depth. The warm waters of the Caribbean create a profusion of soft corals, and hard corals, and sustain an incredible variety of reef creatures, as well as many pelagic varieties of large fish. Further around the island is the home of Waldo, the friendly 6ft. Moray eel. He will leave his hole, and wrap himself around and between your arms and legs in search of any food you may have brought for him. He has been featured in many magazines.

One incident that comes to mind, was when I was with a group of 15 divers who were diving from a boat owned by Bob Soto Divers. When we surfaced after the dive, the boat was gone! A search of the horizon located the boat drifting about a mile out at sea.

Everyone was about to dump all their expensive diving equipment and swim to shore, when it appeared to be coming back. One of the divemasters had been checking the anchor when the dive started, and it started to drag out to sea. He held on to the anchor line and started to climb it as the boat went to the open sea. He drifted with it for about a mile before he was able to climb into the boat and start the engine and head back.

There was a woman non-diver on board who was scared to death and didn’t know anything about starting a diesel engine, so she just drifted with it, not knowing that a diver was hanging on. Everything worked out fine, and we all got back on board.
