September 6, 1921 [TI/Avalon]: “Everett Adargo, native Catalina diver. Not the least attraction of the submarine garden boats are the deep sea divers. Among these Everett Adargo is one of the best-known by reason of having been an almost life-long resident of the island. Indeed, he is known as the native diver. Mr. Adargo has a record of remaining 3 minutes and 15 seconds under water, and diving to a depth of 56 feet. He weighs 190 pounds and is credited with having the remarkable chest expansion of 5 inches. He accompanies the glass-bottom boats almost daily, and dives winter and summer… Mr. Adargo is happily married, his charming wife and two boys occupying the old homestead on Whittley Avenue.”
