Sunday, July 08 - 2007
10:00 – 11:30
Dive Number 102
Start: 09:30
Roads: Dry / clear
Visibility: 24km
Temp: +25C
Area: East Main Street bridge
Vehicle: Suburban
Weather: Sunny / Clear
Visibility: 3m
Divers: Wolf, Chuck
Shore Crew: Lise, Tori
Plan: Explore the East Main Street Canal Area

Chuck arrived a little late, we had Lise and Tori as shore crew. We suited up and entered at the normal entry point under the Division Street bridge. We swam northbound along the river bed towards the steel lift bridge. We come across lots of shopping carts, bicycles, beer cans and debris. We saw the inside parts of a parking meter and towards the lift bridge large wooden piles under the bridge as well. Chuck started to run low on air and we headed back Chuck found an almost new purple bike and wanted to bring it back, but it was too much work for him as he was out of air. En-route back I found a gigantic dead salamander about 50cm long and brought it up to show chuck who seemed to be less than enthusiastic about my find as he later stated it was dripping white goo from tis mouth. It was a great dive, afterward we went to Tim Hortons to relax and exchange stories.
