Dock diving

November 30, 2016

While it may not be their preferred dive site, second year divers immersed themselves in the seawater of Pedder Bay and went diving around the Pearson College dock on Friday 18 November and again on Monday 28 November. Below are Marie-Claude, Aurora and Maya, pretty happy after a decent dive.

Divers did a good service by collecting debris that has been accumulating under the dock for many years (see the previous generation of caf dishes!). Below are photos from 18 November and 28 November.

We released a crab from the plastic bottle (above, middle right of photo on left).  Ian collected two crabs (Cancer productus and Cancer gracilis) seen below in the photo on the left.

Feeling crabby Maya?

Maya with crab hat

Maya surfaced from her dive this afternoon at Swordfish Island with a Puget Sound king crab carapace on her head.

She even managed to keep her hat on as she boarded the boat!

A beautiful day on the water this afternoon…
