COVER: ZALE PARRY
Photograph by Bob Landry
Beautiful Zale Parry (see page 80) had no idea of becoming a skin diver until she fell in love with one. Husky Parry Bivens, an aquatic engineer, spent most of his time under water off the California coast, so Zale strapped on an air lung and went down to be with him. Entranced with the depths, she took up deep diving in earnest, set a world record for women by going down 209 feet. In August she and Bivens will surface and get married.
