I was the only diver on Swing shift and the team Sgt., old one, was the graveyard Sgt.. So for almost 4 hours we had two divers on.
We get a call of a mental, off his meds but strung out on Meth wanting to end it all. He tells his stoned mother he is going to jump in the lake and kill himself.
The family that gets stoned together is a family that should be stoned together.
A K-9 unit goes up and runs a track. The dog makes straight for Float and Boathouse row where he wants in the water real bad. The only evidence the guy might be in the water is the dog that isnt wrong very often at all.
So being dark, a possible recovery and a major hazardous area I elect not to dive until morning at the earliest.
We do the new procedure on notifications and to our surprise the three tell us to do what we feel needs to be done and leave them alone. Huh? Capt., Lt. and Sgt.? Someone hit them right between the hemoridal eyes with a ball bat and didn't mention anything to us about it. We shall see what the AM brings.
So we did a surface search on each dock and found nothing.
Tomorrow is another day and a lot safer one for us.
Ill keep you posted.
Here is the sat pic. Its the Bayview area on Lake Pend Oreille.

The far end of the upside down 4 leg "E" is our target area. It will be the upper one of the two.
Water in the mid 40's and 30-70' deep. Vis should be 50-100' easy
