Dive Accident off Catalina August 12th? Any details?

[drbill]

The Daily Breeze and Long Beach Press Telegram both reported a dive accident off Catalina on August 12th (2014). Their posts stated it was off "Allen's Landing." I've lived on the island 45 years and have never heard of a place called that. I checked with the local dive shops and the harbor department and no one was aware of this. Wondering if anyone knows what happened and where?

From reading the article it sounds as if they wrote what they overheard on Channel 16. It was probably Howland's Landing.

I was just out at Howland's Landing yesterday and heard nothing about an incident in that area. I'm a little peeved at the Dai;y Breeze since I've posted comments asking for further details with no response

The Daily Breeze is not known for their fact checking nor following up their stories.

Phil, I'm getting that impression but I thought the Long Beach Press Telegram would do better

They are owned by the same company.

Oh, wonderful. Still no update on either paper's website.
