Mooring day weekend

Originally uploaded by Tom Rutledge – UER’ing in Kingston area

I love diving and photography especially when I can combine them. It took a long time this year to get going one of the reasons was the political climate of years gone by. I find it hard to get motivated and even harder to volunteer my time to be rewarded by nothing but slander and shit from the vocal minority.

People forget that volunteers do this for free and the only reward is a thank you. But in Kingston if your not doing it the way we did it in the old days you will pay dearly. The even sadder thing is when you give them everything and back off nothing happens cause the only work they can do is running off of the mouth.

Nuff of that back to the dive. First dive on the Munson the munson is always dark but today it was like being at 180 feet with no ambient light. Sean and I located the mooring raised it and checked the line. No problems so off the Comet.

The Comet was the opposite 70 feet of vis and a lot colder 41 on the bottom. Located the mooring line raised it and off for a photo shoot. the deck caved in a bit more over the winter but other then that a nice dive.

Mooring work done by the GLUE dive club as the others stayed home again. Saturday’s work will start on the Davie, I am on the afternoon run hopefully SM Douglas or Eccles.

Finally a Dive
