Rooster1 May 27th, 2003, 10:43 PM for those who dive Sarnia. I love this pic taken this weekend of one our club members in mid drop off 10 foot wall Dundas May 27th, 2003, 11:27 PM great picture!!! love the bridge in the background lakesdiver May 28th, 2003, 09:31 AM My favorite giant-stride entry. We nicknamed it the testosterone leap. SubMariner May 28th, 2003, 10:11 AM Great pic! So, tell me.. just how far down IS that "giant stride"? Shouldn't there be parachutes involved? ;) ~SubMariner~ Rooster1 May 28th, 2003, 09:56 PM SubMariner once bubbled... Great pic! So, tell me.. just how far down IS that "giant stride"? Shouldn't there be parachutes involved? ;) ~SubMariner~ With the water level dropping every year it seems to take more nerve to do the jump:D lakesdiver May 29th, 2003, 09:24 AM Not to mention the old pilings you have to make sure you miss! mcrae May 29th, 2003, 09:43 PM Actually the tricky part is the water is getting rather thin! Anyone who may be coming to Sarnia this weekend be advised that the normal dive area is likley going to be clsed off due to the construction south of the bridge. There are a couple of options including a back way in to the CSL area. If you want details then PM me. Also Redwing nut, I found a rather nice dive knife near the CSL pilings Monday night so if someone in your group lost it let me know. Otherwise I am making a sleeve for it:) Rooster1 May 30th, 2003, 10:58 PM mcrae once bubbled... Actually the tricky part is the water is getting rather thin!

Otherwise I am making a sleeve for it:) THAT WAS ME! just kidding. haven't heard of anyone losing a knife divedude May 31st, 2003, 11:49 AM I could never understand why guys would do that jump!! If you walk 10' feet to your left you can just walk into the water and not take the chance of wrecking your dive. I saw a young guy do that jump about 13 years ago when he hit the water his tank hit him in the head and split his head open and he lost his mask, panic set in and it took 3 of us to get his dumb ass out of the water and 6 stitches to close the wound on his head...... Nice picture though Rooster1 May 31st, 2003, 08:51 PM divedude once bubbled... I could never understand why guys would do that jump!!

Nice picture though It has been awhile since u have been there. U can't get in on the side now and the stairs on the right were ripped out a couple of years ago divedude June 1st, 2003, 10:22 AM Rooster1 once bubbled... It has been awhile since u have been there. U can't get in on the side now and the stairs on the right were ripped out a couple of years ago LOL... :D there I go showing my old age again. How do you get out now if you can't get in or out on the side? Do they still have the cable that goes to the Monarch and the barge? Rooster1 June 1st, 2003, 08:20 PM divedude once bubbled...

The cable to the Monarch is still there and right in front of that jump. You get out at the CSL docks next to the Casino and walk up mcrae June 3rd, 2003, 09:52 AM Actually you can get out just around the corner on the south side. It is tricky climbing over rocks but can be done. Not really safe to go in that way. The cable to the barge is gone, we will be replacing it in the next week or two. I think the ice takes it out. Access is still restricted due to construction of a parking lot/park just south of the bridge. Expected completion is late June. There is a back way in that we are using.

Gary It wasnt the Ice that took out that cable. It happened last August. A few of us were going to do a night dive and a couple of us were already doing the barge/Monarch dive. I guess the vis was so bad and the current so strong that one of the divers was using the thin cable on the barge to hold on and it broke.:(
