excellent movies,."Medical aspects of Diving and "Mechanical Aspects
of Diving." -More movies of this type we could really use. All memb
ers present, I'm sure did benifit from the concise and clear
cut presentation.
DIVING
EI3CKENS,MeALLISTER AND GARD made a few dives between the big jetty
and Pier 1, Practiced securing a line and bouy to use for a desending
line. SPRAGUE and ELLFC'f'D were sncrkeling and helping to handle the
lines, after SPRAGUE bounced the bouy over quite a bit of watery acre
age, it was finally secured to the bottom. Good Tractive, Fellas.
Qualifying off the big je+tv nt 60ft. ELLT’OOD brought back a smell
ing souvineer from the bottom. Congrats. Eddie, Kis diving buddy was
HEITL who confirmed the qualifacation• Next day ELLTOCD AGAIN went in
this time at 65 just to make sure, he said. But now: you have the bug
too. SPRAGUE acting as diving buddy this time*
Divers GARD, McGAFFIN and KS1TL tried to retroive some shrimp traps
that had been lost in the vicinity of the old marine Railways, but they
found that all the traps wore to dotcriatod to be of any use.
Also getting wet was VICELAND, SPRAGUE AND HEITL this time between
the big jetty and Piorl. They wore on the look-out for some King Crab
and "Just w:anted to get wet." Fell no Kings, but they certainly did get
quite wet while Loo and Michy stayed topside and ate the boys lunch.
