    Kristina's memorial plaque discussion

    Anyone toying with an idea of putting a plaque in for her at Breakwater somewhere under water?

    The topic was brought up in mikes memorial dive thread.

    I thought a nice plaque might be one that has space for those who know and love Kristina to sign before placement. Then I look back at this thread and realize how large such a plaque would need to be.

    My suggestion is right at the edge of Metridium Fields, due north (magnetic) of the end of the pipe. That way, she greets divers swimming in from the pipe and would be a marker for finding their way back to the pipe.

    Kristina's memorial plaque discussion

    Many people have suggested a memorial plaque be placed in honor of our friend Kristina.
    I thought we should have a centralized thread for that discussion.

    Thanks! I am in NC so no much good with organizing. But please keep me posted. I would like to contribute towards it.

    Would be nice if somewhere near breakwater so next time I am in town I can visit it.

    What a good idea!

    I like to think Kristina has become one more angel swimming with all the others in the deep blue sea.

    To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.

    I'm willing to contribute. Sadly, I didn't know her well enough to suggest a site.

    I liked Fisheaters suggestion to have it at the end of the pipe leading to the metridium field.
    I think Dan might have some good suggestions since he's been her buddy more often than the rest of us.

    I know when I see octopus I'll think of her.
    Paula and I took her on a night dive when she wanted to see octopi. We must have seen 6 or 8 that night. Must have been because she was with us I suppose.
