Hey all,

Earlier this year, a number of us ran a new orange line at the JC Morssion in Barrie, ON. Going from the normal shore entrance, to the platform then straight out to the wreck. About 100' out from the platform, there's a tie-in that heads south to the old boat launch, which is a nicer entry point for people with heavy gear.

Haven't dove it for a few weeks until today. The line was VANDALIZED. At the T, the line going to the old launch was cut. I assumed a break, but took the 10' or so of remaining line out, tied in and did a search - never found the other end.

As well, a section towards the bow of the wreck was cut, but easily fixed.

This line is not the property of anyone except those who laid it and what was done here is VANDALISM! Unfortunately, whenever you try to do a good thing, there are those who feel it's not.

If you have any information as to who did this, please PM me.

Thanks!
 
I do not not think another diver would have done this, it was more likley that a boat anchor was caught on it and the boat owner hauled up the anchor with the line and then cut it. Theres a lot of fishermen always around the Morrison. i agree its a shame,but theres not much we can do about it.
 
Old boat launch...interesting

We went in the hard way down the rocks. And back up, a whole lot of work as I took up 3 sets of steel tanks for the family.
