Yeah.

Yeah.

Right, yeah.

Right, yeah. There's so much cultural knowledge that's integrated into the practice and that's passed on from generation to generation because a lot of times they're doing this in family units. One of the divers that I worked with, his dad used to be the most famous diver in the village. Now he's the most famous diver in the village.

You know, it would be interesting to count that. I think now, you know, things are changing for the Baja, at least the community that I worked with, where a lot of people are moving away from traditional diving and into other kinds of fishing practices.
