Things that have happened in and on the
water. Well this last week, Wicklund.,
Humphrey, Casteel and Peterson have been
hard at it. They have been diving around
piers one and two and placing charges to
destroy them. This is pretty risky work,
but they are professionals so its just
another every day task.. Although anything
they do in performing there military dutit
as divers, has no reflection toward the
club, we are very pround to beast that
these four divers arc members of our small
but growing organization. They devoted
their time, effort, and equipment to get
us started. So therefore, when we mentior
them performing their military duties,
were just doing a little bragging.
Some anxious divers hit the water last
Monday night. Darling, Schuit, Sprague
and Northrop. They g^&bbed their snorkels
and hit the surf. Then ,ie surf grabbed
them and they hit the bottom. The water
can get pretty rough, eh, boys. A couple
items of gear were lost, but thats all in
gaining expierence.
Lange, MacQuarrie, Card and Kennedy all
hit it last Tuesday, off the Jetty, The
visibility was not to good and the fish
didn*t seem as plentiful as usual. Thtat
goes to show you, you never know what to
expect when diving.
Clad to hear your wet suit came in Ellwooc
but sorry to hear about what the doc had
to say. Just stick it out pardner. Be*
fore you know it 3^ou will be envading the
element of the sea life.
Divers have you noticed the daylight hours
are getting shorter? Yep, we’ll have to
limit our diving time to weekends before
long. Lets hope we get some fairly calm
weather.

who are getting short this will interest
yous Our ordering agent is going to drop

Heres a little item of interst taken from
the latest Skin Diver. Magazine, The
short timers (single) heading for the
states will like this.
"Oh work is dull, and Skin Diving is fun,
and I dig dolls, doesent everyone?
Diving trip: OK what do you say we all
get together real soon and plan one,
» Everyone who has their gear in should
iSstart planning. Get a day when we can
all get together, a convenient place,
hope for good weather and all hit the
water at once. Then compare notes and
tell fish stories.
i Logging your dives: No matter where
you go, if you just snorkel, or hit the
bottom, make a note of it. This can
bd used for future reference. Write
down the water conditions, the kind and
1 amount of fish you saw. The kind of
bottom, visibility, and general location.
This will all tie in with the item above.
It will help us plan a diving trip.
Until we meet on the bottom
