Marine Life
David Eynon first came to the Falkland Islands in 1970 as a travelling teacher. He returned to England to take a degree and in 1974 married Carol Watson, who he had met in the Falklands. He worked in the North Sea from 1974 to 1981 diving commercially with Comex Diving out of Aberdeen.
Returning to the Falklands in 1981 with their children, they spent three months on a remote island searching for the wreck 'Conquimbana'. They then got caught up in the war in 1982, and once stability had been restored, set up their company S.A.M.S. at their premises on the Stanley Harbour front known as The Boathouse in January 1985.
