Spooky Diving

Would you would dare go diving in the ocean after the sunset? NOT me, I'm chicken. David, my gallant husband, dared to go out and dived down to 100 feet after the sun had gone down. Even, he and other 15 divers dived during the showering season from 2:30 to 8:30 P.M. They all even went down on on a "perfect" mini-storm waves. Weren't they nuts?

He and other divers decided to visit the Yukon Wrecked (click this) in Mission Bay Area. The boat is the largest ship, 366 feet long, ever intentionally sunk off the California coast as an artificial reef. Some of the divers, especially the advance divers, were able to go inside of the vacant boat. Can you image yourself as if you were in Titanic Boat especially at night? David and his partner were able to go inside of a boat only for a SHORT moment due to indecent visibility. He only could see at least up to three feet. That' s not normal. The normal visibility should be at least 65 to 80 feet at a good weather. How spooky would that be with the poor visibility?

Since it was an unstable weather, he barely was able to see anyone, sea animals or take any good pictures. He knew he was in a hazard zone where there were lots of sharp objects around the Yukon ship. Yet, he barely was able to see the propellers and cannons. Believe it or not, there were toilet seats that he could not see. Too bad, he or others were unable to use them.

Once he came out of the water, the co-captain and captain of the boat all were looked at David and asked for David's opinion whether the divers should stay or leave. David made a wise decision by telling them it would be safe for all of the novice divers, including master divers to go home. Thus, he was unable to bring his smiling face but hungering for more. . One thing is for sure; you will see him again soon on the wreck of the Yukon with good pictures.

At the end of leaving an hour early, the owners decided that it would be fair for the divers to get their tickets back. It means that he gets the chance to return to visit the Yukon. Let's hope for the next visit would be a better visibility for my husband, who deserves the best experience.
