Divers Surprised By Active Submarine

[ScubaJill]

I just came across this news article: Divers are surprised by a submarine as they searched a shipwreck

I have seen this same submarine at Coz on a couple of dives, and I am sure frequent Coz divers have had the same experience at dive sites close to the cruise port.

Sub, or similar, has been around for decades.

"News flash! Divers surprised to see fish underwater!"

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

 

[ScubaJill]

Well, nevermind, then. I thought it was pretty cool, having never been to Cozumel.

 

[wetb4igetinthewater]

Sorry ScubaJill. Like I said, I couldn't help myself. These are common in many places and give non divers a nice way to experience the underwater world.

I have wished that I wasn't wearing a jumpsuit that prevents me from flashing the tourists.

I have always wondered if anyone has ever seen this while diving. I have never heard of anyone doing so until now.

Karloss........just FYI, as far as I know, the ONLY place to see it is at Chankanaab Bolones.........and yes, been doing this for years and no, it doesn't "travel underwater" to get there (they load close to the site) so there would not be any sightings near any cruise ship piers as mentioned above.........and yeah, I've witnessed "moonings"...........hhaha

It looks suspiciously like this one from our trip in '09: https://goo.gl/photos/HdV8K8gTkKh4WQU57
