Seagirt 9/20/90


The Seagirt is an intact clammer that sank in 1990 and we were some of the first divers on it. We went out on the Down Deep (Capt. Bob Meimbrese) and had a real productive day. I wrote in my log that the wreck had lots of cables to get hung up on and the wreck creeked since it wasn't quite settled into the bottom yet. It sits in 70' of water. All the divers together got a total of 7 portholes, 2 swing plates, 2 brass horns, a lantern, a compass and the box it goes in, cage lights and a bell (not the boats bell but another type of alarm bell). I actually got a cage light and the bell on my own and sent it up in my own lift bag. At the time that was real big for me. I'm not one that works with tools well. These are the few pictures of I have of that memorable day. I went back to this wreck years later and it was encased in mussels and sits on its side. Nothing like seeing a wreck upright and then going back and seeing it listed to one side.

Various Dives 1988-1991


I am slowly scanning these old slides from 1988-1991 into digital. See if you can recognize some of these old time divers. It is definitely hard to remember everyone's name. One of the biggest rewards of looking through all of these old photos is to realize the large amount of diving I actually did back then as well as today. I forgot a large amount of the dives I had done. At least I can say...I lived my life and I know I touched a lot of people. Since this process is painstakingly slow, I'll add more photos each week over the long winter. I am working on a Nova Scotia and Honduras/Antigua slide show that will be up soon.
