	Dylan Cole – Dylan, which is Welsh for 'from the sea', was abandoned at an aquarium shop at the tender age of three. There he was a adopted and raised by a renegade horde of leather clad fantail goldfish who taunted him endlessly and forced him to clean their home and prepare their food, because he had no gills and couldn't breathe underwater. Later, when his parents realized where they'd left him, he decided he'd show those orange tormenters and vowed to one day learn to breathe underwater. That day came in the spring of 1991 when he took up scuba diving and he returned to the aquarium shop to find the goldfish horde had moved on to tease some other poor innocent soul. Distressed and needing closure, in 1996 Dylan became a PADI open-water instructor in the hopes that he could help others who had been emotionally scared by fish
