I was diving Casino Point yesterday (Sun. 09-26), and noticed something I'm fairly sure is new. As those of you familiar with Casino Point know, the wrecks of the Kismet and the glass-bottom boat are located at the bottom of one of the buoys that mark the dive park's border. When we were there on Monday, I took this picture of what appeared to be a lot of fresh damage to the wrecks, seemingly caused by the buoy chain, which looks new. Did they just change the chain out and make it too long? I'm almost certain the wrecks weren't damaged like this the last time I dove them in mid-August. I'm kind of torn about it. I hate to see the wrecks damaged, but I'll be the last to object to buoy maintenance. I'd hate to catch a boat propeller in the head just because the park's borders aren't clearly marked.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Bill. I was climbing up the stairs, saw him standing at the top, and recognized his face from the photo on his avatar. I briefly introduced myself, but didn't have too much time to talk. Despite his "Dive dry with Dr. Bill" slogan, I'm fairly sure that was a wetsuit he was wearing. Dr. Bill, (assuming that you read this) I'm guessing that you were taking advantage of the pleasantly warm water this time of year?
