WILSON MONITORING PROJECT

[maizeperro]

I thought it was interesting how they could see bubbles ten feet from the zodiac in Lake Superior but could not see the dive gear in the tiny zodiac.

Just to let you all know, I was not there. And I am not trying to flame the GLSPS guys. I only posted the story because I thought it was a funny misunderstanding.

    My friends, Wags and Shauer were upset that they drove all the way up to Duluth, fought the traffic and then were driven off the wreck by people they know and thought were fellow divers. No, their radio did not work and maybe they could have approached more carefully and bowed down more respectfully to the GLSPS but it is ironic that while the GLSPS claims to help divers see the wreck this time they only prevented it.

I personally don't care about laws much. I think Phil has a point that they (GLSPS) have to be careful. If anything happened on the Preservation it would be a bigger problem than if it were a private boat.

I think that people get a little too excited about boats near divers. They get away with it pretty well in Mexico and Florida. I don't care if a boat runs over my bubbles.

When I'm on a wreck I'm not to concerned about a boat 60' above me. I tend to use the anchor line for ascents. If I were to surface away from the line I might consider popping a bag in the interest of self preservation.

So again I don't mean to flame or offend anybody, I just thought it was good entertainment. I hope I am still allowed into the DIP show this February!
