A Walk Beside the Breakwater

In last Friday's post about Ogden Point I mentioned how popular it is for strollers but I neglected to note how popular it is with scuba divers. The bottom off the breakwater is about 100 feet (30 meters) deep and the seaward side faces a kelp forest that is home to many sea creatures. Divers don't need a boat; they can simply walk along the breakwater for a few hundred yards and they are in deep water. I suspect it is fun but those divers are carrying a hefty load of equipment. It must be a great relief to get into the water.

I have never tried diving, might be fun, but I would of course need a underwater camera.

I had no idea people dived off the breakwater!

My niece lives out there and has done that, so I imagine she's dove off from here.

The two tanks must be very heavy. Nice shot.

I like the shot and it must be the load that the divers are walking a little stealthy. Nice one.
