Underwater Memorial Plaques?

[TurtleSpeed]

A good friend and fellow diver recently passed.

I would like to install a memorial plaque (probably bronze) underwater at Nubble (Cape Neddick Light, York Maine), his favorite local dive site.
Does anyone know of a source that supplies plaques for underwater (salt water) environments?

Also, are there types of bronze, or coatings, that will help?

Thanks...

These folks could produce a bronze plaque, but how to attach it, to what, and if it is legal to place it, are other questions that need to be answered.

Thanks for the suggestions. These are some of the questions I hope can be answered on ScubaBoard.

Clean a rock really good or, if you have access to a boat, you could cast a concrete mooring and attach the plaque, then lower it to the site. In either case make sure the plaque or mooring is attached to something that is large enough that it won't be moved or covered during a storm.

It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.


Good luck

Sorry for the loss of your friend.

I've had them made at a local trophy shop before.

Here is a plaque I installed on the wreck of the Thunderbolt in the keys. I had a machinist (local guy, and friend of the deceased) make it out of sheet delrin in 2 colors, he machined out the image and text and we took it under, drilled holes (we used a throw away air drill from home depot) and bolted it to the T-Bolt and then destroyed the threads with a hammer. Now, we were lucky enough to have a liveaboard dive boat with unlimited compressed air and 20 divers to rotate through the drilling. It took that much.

I go clean the plaque twice a year, wipe it off wearing gloves is just fine.

Wow...what a great response.
Thanks for all the good information.
