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.

Swan Dive

It may be the end of August and the days are getting both cooler and shorter but that didn't stop a group of young men at Thetis Lake from spending the afternoon perfecting their diving techniques. - Fern
