Thursday, September 7, 2000 – 7:00 PM at Ocean Enterprises. Guest Speaker is Bill Wilson of the California Wreck Divers.
Well, many things have happened since our last full newsletter. As you are all aware by now, the Yukon had its untimely demise, and the two club charters were an opportunity to dive the wreck. We could have used a couple more club members on board, but we nonetheless had a good time.
We may attempt to dive the USS Hogan after a few more members get Nitrox certified. Most likely, this dive will happen in October. Stay tuned.
Many members are now traveling. The La Paz gang just got back from Honduras and will report shortly. Steve and Paul will be heading to Palau (the rest of us are jealous). I will be diving Grand Cayman(again) in a couple of weeks. I hope everyone has a safe-great time.
The club had its summer barbecue that was a smashing good time. There were more of us in the water than any time recently (playing volleyball that is) and boy did we suck! A special thanks to Marwan, Rezan, and family for hosting the party, and for all the good food. If nothing else, we should have more group get togethers throughout the year. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Happy Diving! – Mark Clausen
Saturday Sept 9, 8:00am – Meetat La Jolla Cove to dive Boomers. Breakfast to follow the dive. Back up sites will be Hospital Point or Marine Room.
The Lois Ann offers club members a discount on many open boat trips. Due to heavy demand, they may not be able to offer the discount on all their trips. For more information, call 800/201-4381 or check the Lois Ann schedule on the next page or at http://www.loisann.com.
The Bahamas -
Particulars for this trip are just being finalized but here is what we have:
When: January 20-27, 2201
Where: Island Resort and Golf Club, Freeport, Gand Bahama Island
Why: Because we need it
Cost: Lodging: we currently have 3 2bedroom condos. Based on quad occupancy, lodging is $140.00 per person. The condos are fully equipped with full kitchens, pool on site, hourly bus service to Xanadu Beach, walking distance to Princess Casino, golf, shopping and public transit. Each room has a queen bed and 2 twins, as well as a convertible couch if you really want to pack them in.
Diving: although we are still shopping, diving runs approximately 35.00 per single tank dive, shark dive is $85.00, wreck dive(2 tank) $75.00, open ocean dolphin dive $150.00. If we have a full crew we will be assigned a private boat.
Airfare: currently we have a quote for $481.00 but we are trying to do better. We are attempting to fly via Fort Lauderdale instead of Miami. Even at that price, with standard 2 tank diving on 5 days, the total cost comes to roughly $960.00.
At the meeting we will be asking for commitments so make your plans now. There is a possibility we will fly out via red eye on 1/19/01. If a family would like a complete unit that is no problem, nor is a private room.
Catalina Island — A complete package including ferry from Dana Point, 2 nights lodging at La Paloma (which is a diver friendly hotel), daily breakfast, and a 2 tank boat dive on the Cat Dive is $606 double occupancy. Extra people are an additional 10.00 per person for the room, plus the diving and ferry charges. Ferry departs from Dana Point at 5 PM. There is also a package for the Hotel Atwater with diving on the Neptune's that runs approximately $255.00 per person.
As everyone should know by now, the Yukon sank ahead of schedule. We were lucky enough to have chartered the Lois Ann for the week after the sinking. Despite having the sink event go awry, this is still an awesome dive, and well worth doing before winter.
She's settled on her port side instead of upright. Most of the port side access holes are now blocked. Fortunately, the map room with the Honor wall is readily accessible from the port side of the bridge.
Penetrating the wreck must be done with great care. Most dive stores carry Yukon maps printed on plastic slates. I highly recommend bringing one of these with you if you dive the Yukon.
I have heard of a few close calls inside the Yukon. There have also been 3 cases of DCS on Yukon dives. The ship is deeper than your usual recreational dive. You have to watch your air more closely. If you have any doubts about going inside, don't do it.
To get some more rumors out of the way, I've heard that Navy SEALs were inspecting the ship with an eye towards righting her.
As we enjoy the Yukon, it's worth remembering the contributions of the Yukon volunteers. They have worked long and hard to bring the ship to San Diego, and place her on the bottom.
Lately, I've spent more time writing web pages than reading them. For general news and information, I can recommend salon.com as a good place to visit frequently. They have a heavyweight cast of authors, and seem to manage balanced coverage of contentious issues; a rarity in this age of advocacy journalism.
If you haven't visited them recently, http://divebums.com now has a dive report page. You can read the recent reports, or contribute one of your own.
Taking underwater pictures is fun. Pioneer Researchoffered me one of their Sea Life cameras to test, demonstrate, and review.
Initial Impressions: This is aw2 nice camera setup. There is an auxiliary strobe with a bracket. The bracket has a reflector that blocks off the light from the camera's built-in strobe and directs it to a sensor on the auxiliary strobe. It's a neat solution to a thorny problem.
Keeping water out is critical for any camera. The seal on the Sea Life looks better than many. The camera latches apply a lot of sealing force to a small area. As with any O-ring seal, cleanliness is essential. I was surprised that the instructions did not call for greasing the O-ring. I would recommend greasing, and cleaning it every time you dive the camera.
The seal on the strobe is silicone. It should be trouble free if kept clean.
There is no way to control the exposure with this camera. I didn't try it with slide film, but slide film is pickier about having just the right exposure.
In the water: I dove the camera without the auxiliary flash. Compared to a Nikonos, this camera is small and compact. It is also positively buoyant. I really prefer that my cameras be neutral to slightly negative for ease of handling. Clipped to my BC, the camera usually trailed under my arm, and was behind me whenever I wanted to take a picture. This could be a problem for critters that suddenly appear.
The Pictures: We ran two tests. I took some pictures at La Jolla Shores and Marine Room. Paul Lee graciously volunteered to test the camera in the tropical waters of Roatan.
First off, this is a simple camera. Don't expect professional quality pictures. Once you learn to work within its limitations, you can get good pictures that will impress your family and friends.
I tested the camera without the auxiliary flash. The close-up lens worked well, but it's also a color correcting filter, and when combined with the amber flash of the camera, gave a decidedly green cast to the pictures.
Paul used the auxiliary flash. He got some very nice pictures. He did suggest using the stronger close-up lens than the one we were given for evaluation.
Overall, this is a good point and shoot camera, if you can live with its limitations. The close-up lenses work for getting you close enough to take interesting pictures of sea life, and the regular lens is adequate for buddy group pictures in clear water. I think it's unfortunate that the close-up lenses also have color correction filters. There are times when you don't want them.
Would I recommend this camera? One club member who has one, likes it a lot. I wouldn't be happy with it. Like so many topics in diving, it's a style decision.
Judith Garfield's new book about La Jolla Shores is finally here. It was worth the wait. There are identification photos for most of the common, and less common marine life.
The most valuable part of the book is the map of sites within the La Jolla Shores area. I was unaware of most sites on the map. Mary and I decided to dive one of them, and had an excellent time.
I'm delighted to know there are more dives at the Shores than following open water classes, and picking up the gear they drop.
She has also printed a map of The Shores on a diving slate. We tried this too, and it's very handy. I highly recommend both items. Check out Judith's web site at http://www.judith.garfield.org
This dive slate thing seems to be catching on. SDOF is offering a slate with the Yukon's access holes plotted on both sides. It helps find your way around inside and outside of the wreck. Joe Dohn and I put one to good use on our dives. At $15, it's fairly cheap, and could easily keep your tail out of trouble.
We finished our last group charter of the summer in fine form. I'm already looking forward to some less formal trips.
We are investigating the process of formally incorporating the Ocean Explorers Society. We're going to need 6 or 8 people to get this effort off the ground. Please contact Mark Clausen, or myself if you're interested in helping.
Oue web site is online. When you get the chance, stop by http://www.oceanexplorers.org. We need photographs! If you have some photos from previous OES trips to contribute, please let me know.
This has not been a good month for SCUBA diving. We've had 8 fatalities in the last 2 months. Be careful out there.
It was a veritable club meeting at the OE sale. Bobster even sent a proxy. The $169 dive computers seem to be the most popular purchase. The cheap lights followed closely. There were definitely some good deals if you poked around carefully.
I was reading a Salon.com article about the JFK Jr. crash and came across a nugget of wisdom which one might well apply to diving.
Years ago, my husband made his own flight across Rhode Island Sound after the end of a long work day in Providence. Anxious to reach friends on Nantucket, he pushed himself to cross the ocean on a cloudy day, with no horizon. He had taken a few instrument lessons, and nervously relied on his sketchy training to get him across the ocean to the distant island.
Shaken, he landed the airplane and immediately instituted a "three strikes, you're out" rule that he still uses. If there are three questionable factors in a proposed flight -- fatigue, questionable weather, low-time skills -- he doesn't go. Period. Nobody, not even 1,000-hour pilots, has enough confidence to single-handedly reverse forces of nature.
Change flight to dive, and you have an excellent rule to live by.
Congradultions to Liza, Paul, and very soon now, Brian, on their Nitrox certifications. Now the entire Frugal Divers unit is Nitrox certified.
Belated applause to Nancy, John, and Katie McMiller on completing their Advanced Open Water class.
OES members can receive discounts on regular OE classes. Members receive $30 off the regular OE price for specialty classes.
The Yukon is right in the depth range where Nitrox gives you the greatest benefit. I encourage everyone planning to dive the Yukon to get their Nitrox certification now. Check with Mark for low-cost course information.
Subscriptions to Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine are available through the club for only $10. See Mark Clausen for details.
Club T-shirts are still available for $13.00.
San Diego's diving community suffered a heavy blow when it lost one of its better-known members. Ron Fuller drowned on August 9th while diving at La Jolla Shores. Ron was diving solo with a rebreather he built from a Frog kit.
Ron created one of the first web pages about San Diego SCUBA diving. He was also a frequent contributor to the rec.scuba group on Usenet. I constantly referred people to his site.
I only knew Ron through correspondence and rec.scuba. He was always a gentleman in the best sense of the word.
Memorial services for his family will be private. There will be a memorial for the diving community at a later date.
His friends have set up a memorial fund to help his wife and children. You may send your contributions to:
Ron Fuller Memorial Fund

The San Diego Council of Divers, and San Diego Lifeguards sponsor a series of in-the-water tours of the local diving areas.
Joining in is easy. Bring your snorkeling gear, wetsuit, and weight belt with no more than half your normal diving weight in it. Check surf and diving conditions for cancellations. Show up at the proper place and time to register. Refreshments are available at the egress point.
The lifeguards request a very nominal $5 donation to cover costs. This is a great opportunity to gain local knowledge.
We have just one 3 R's left; September 16 at Hospital Point
In an unusual event on par with a total solar eclipse, I was able to glean something valuable from rec.scuba. This rescue was performed in 90-110 ffw. There are two accounts; one from one the rescuing divers.
First, the Marshall's account:
With four fatalities last weekend; Ron Fuller, Tony Maffatone, David Cooper, and a Diving Instructor in Tobermory, Ontario, I thought people might like to hear of a rescue in the Straits of Mackinaw.
The Niagara Divers' Association had chartered two boats, "Virtual Reality" (Capt. Andy Denato) and "Sand Dollar" (Capt. Jim Stayer), to dive the area and were on the wreck of the Cedarville on Sunday.
The divers on the Sand Dollar had just removed their tanks after completing a dive on the bow when KK, a diver from Chicago with a group on the Intrepid, popped to the surface at the stern some 450' feet away, waving his hands and calling for help. There was a BCD and tank beside him in the water and Pat Stayer called that there was an unconscious diver on the surface. While Jim Stayer notified the other boats that there was an emergency, he spun the Sand Dollar around to pick up the diver. As the diver was being pulled into the boat, it was discovered that he was alone and the gear belonged to him. He shouted that he and his buddy, JH, had gotten into the wreck and that his buddy was still lost inside by a porthole on the wreck.
KK had managed to take off his gear on the bottom, squeeze through a porthole and rocket to the surface. While Maria Bellantino (Welland, Ontario) was setting up the NDA Dan O2 Kit to administer oxygen to KK, the Straits Wreck Diver rafted off to the Sand Dollar. While the group on the Sand Dollar was putting together a plan of action, Mike Apple and Steve Ohrt (both from Columbus, Ohio) were completing their dive and getting ready to board Virtual Reality (still at the bow).
Capt. Denato allowed Steve to board and then towed Mike, half on and half off the swim platform to the mooring line.
It was decided that after a surface interval of only 17 minutes, Dave Mekker (Stoney Creek, Ontario) and Anthony DeBoer (Richmond Hill, Ontario) would gear up and go down to help the trapped diver. At the same time, one of the captains off the Straits Wreck Diver (still to be identified) jumped into the high 40 degree water with no thermal protection to deliver a small pony bottle to the trapped diver.
Simultaneously, Andy Dena to rigged up a spare 80 cu. ft. tank and sent it down to the diver with Mike while Steve was in the water on standby.
By this time, KK was on oxygen and providing more details to Dave and Anthony as they were gearing up. Shortly after Dave and Anthony hit the water, Virtual Reality pulled up alongside Sand Dollar to transfer an "H" oxygen bottle for a drop system that Jim was rigging up with his own oxygen bottle. It was feared that all the divers would be racking up a lot of decompression time, so the drop system would provide 6 regulators for the divers to complete accelerated decompression on pure oxygen at 20 feet. By this time, we received word that air had been delivered to the trapped diver.
While the divers were down, there was a lot of activity on the surface. Intrepid radioed Virtual Reality to inform them that they could not start their engines and needed a tow and still had 6 divers in the water. A Coast Guard zodiac was circling the site but not providing assistance and another charter boat, Wet Dreams, was arriving on site. Jim hailed Wet Dreams to see if they could provide assistance, but they didn't answer his call and proceeded to the bow mooring to complete their dive oblivious to the emergency that was taking place. By this time, KK had drained the Niagara Divers' Association oxygen cylinder but was showing no symptoms of DCS. We could also see divers' bubbles coming from the descent line and Dave and Anthony were soon on the surface. They delivered the good news that the diver was safe with Mike, decompressing on the line. Steve went down the line with a slate to let the two divers know that there was oxygen available off the boat. Realizing that the divers could not locate the oxygen drop system, Anthony and Dave descended once again. After tying a reel off to the oxygen regulators, they directed the divers back to the oxygen drop system for decompression. Shortly thereafter, everyone surfaced and was back on board safe and sound.
After arriving back at the dock and talking about the situation, more details began to come out. JH said that he was banging his light on the hull of the wreck in the hopes that someone would come over and investigate and help him out. As it turns out, he said he saw two divers go right past him and take no notice of the situation. He was getting dangerously low on air (he was unable to inflate his BC to adjust his buoyancy on the way out) "when this diver in a bathing suit passed him a small pony tank". When Mike reached him, he could see the pressure gauge on the pony drop with each breath and had to pass him the 80 within three minutes. He said JH's eyes were as big as saucers.
Mike had to also prevent JH from leaving the porthole in an attempt to seek his own way out and to convey that help was on the way.
When Anthony and Dave first descended, they verified JH's position and that he had air, then proceeded to find a way to reach him. Because of the Cedarville's semi-inverted position, they had to descend until they found an opening into the engine room, work their way through an area they had never been before in almost zero visibility, and ascend until they saw portholes and eventually found JH. Dave led JH by the hand along the line, with Anthony reeling up behind until they cleared the wreck. It's interesting to point out that although Anthony and Dave are both cave certified, they had no intention of doing any penetration this day, so all they had between them was one video light, and one quickly borrowed backup light and reel.
So what are the lessons that we need to learn from this incredibly close call? If it has been said once, it has been said a thousand times, all divers should know their limitations. Diving beyond your training and without appropriate safety precautions is akin to playing a game of Russian roulette. Is there anything that is worth taking that type of risk? As was stated back at the dock after the incident, you have to remember that when you take chances, not only are you putting yourself in danger, but you are also endangering the lives of those who will be coming to rescue you.
As captain Andy Denato stated back at the dock, if all JH is suffering from is some embarrassment and he can still get home to have dinner with his family, then the day turned out all right. The alternative is unthinkable.
Ian & Barbara Marshall
Anthony DeBoer, one of the divers involved in the rescue, added his account to the discussion. The difference in viewpoints is educational.
[Note: Xena is the same as Maria, if you're comparing stories]
August 6th, 2000 dawned gray and rainy. We were supposed to go out for the second day of diving on the Straits of Mackinaw, but word was initially that it might be too rough to go out, and then that we would still be going out.
Figuring it'd be too rough to be taking any extra gear, and that anyway "I'm not going inside any wrecks today" because my buddy Dave was shooting video and was quite particular about the visibility, I left my lights and primary reel in my van.
We went out in Jim and Pat Stayner's boat, the Sand Dollar, to the wreck of the Cedarville, a 600' steel freighter lying upside-down in 100' of water just a couple of miles downstream of the Mackinaw bridge. The wreck is too big to see all of in one dive, and most of the points of interest are at the bow and stern. There were mooring bouys at both ends and amidships. Dave, Xena, and I did an uneventful dive on the bow, although it was dark and visibility was poor, then cast off with the intention of tying up to the idle midships bouy to accumulate some surface time and wait for the diveboats presently using the stern bouy to move off before our second dive.
As we were moving, an obviously-agitated diver popped to the surface between the midships and stern bouys. We initially thought he had an unconscious diver floating face-down beside him, but as we zoomed closer we realized it was his own rig which he had taken off for some reason.
As we helped him into the boat, we got his story: his buddy was trapped inside the wreck, just under a porthole. This fellow had managed to squeeze through, pushing his tank ahead of him, but his buddy had been unable to follow. They had gone "just a little way" inside and had become unable to find their way back out.
At this point, I had successfully completed 450 scuba dives without ever being involved in a major emergency, but we had one on our hands now: if we can get to this guy in time, get air to him, and find a way to bring him out, we can save his life, but time is ticking and his air is running out, and this is exactly the sort of situation that ends in somebody going home in a body bag more often than not. Divers get told time and time again not to exceed their training, not to go inside wrecks and caves if they don't have the training to know how to get back out, and fatality reports are filled with tales of newbies going "just a little way" in, but still divers think they'll be okay if they go in "just a little way".
My buddies and I are trained cave divers, we know how to go inside places and back out again, and we had just come up from a dive, still had our suits on and lots of air in our tanks for a planned second dive. Most divers don't have that level of training. I realized we were very likely the only people able to safely go inside the wreck and do the rescue, and I announced "We're going down there and we're going to get him out." The alternatives didn't bear thinking about; there was absolutely no way I wanted to be involved in a body-recovery, and I was motivated to work hard to make sure that didn't happen.
We had a bit of a gear problem: between the three of us, we had only Dave's video light and Xena's backup light; normally we'd each wear a big primary light and two backup lights going into a wreck or a cave. We could get two divers into the water faster than three, and Dave and I had a lot more air in our twin 112's than Xena had in her "girlie tanks", twin 85's; there'd be a problem if she had to share air with the trapped diver. I borrowed Xena's light and reel so I wouldn't have to lead on my safety spool and went in.
Maybe, in retrospect, we should have taken her, and probably there were a number of things that could have been fine-tuned, but under time pressure we stitched together the best plans we could.
Plan A, if the diver had enough air, had the two of us going in together; plan B called for me dropping my long hose through the porthole while Dave did the rescue solo.
As we prepared to go in, we were told the porthole in question was about 50 feet forward of the line, on the right (port, since it was inverted) side of the wreck. The Sand Dollar was by now tied off alongside the two boats already on the mooring.
There were reported to be six divers still in the water in addition to the trapped diver; all six were on the line doing deco or safety stops, oblivious to the problem below them, as we went past them at top speed. I have to blush and admit that I had neglected to connect my suit inflator in the rush to get into the water, but I pointed to it and Dave hooked it up for me. Heading forward, I saw a line of portholes, with divers clustered around one. "This must be the party we were invited to" I thought, even before seeing a diver's head poking through the hole. The other divers had brought down a tank, and I had a glimpse of the gauge showing a full 3000 psi before they passed it in through the porthole. This meant the initial problem was solved, the diver had air to breathe, and we had a comfortable amount of time to spend finding the way to get him out.
We dropped down the hull and into the aft superstructure area, looking for a doorway or hatchway leading down/up into the part of the ship holding the diver. Trying to mentally turn what we were seeing three-quarters of the way over and picture what the ship used to look like was challenging. I found what might have been the engineroom hatchway, unclipped Xena's reel, tied off, and headed in by the beam of her small light. Having Dave's 100 watts behind me helped a lot. The passage headed downward first, into the wreck, then opened up. I looked up and saw daylight shining through portholes, and smiled knowing I was almost certainly in the right place. I ran line upward toward them, saw the diver under one of the portholes, and came up behind him, tapped him on the shoulder, and showed him the guideline. He didn't need much more prompting; he was off like a shot, following the line with the extra tank under his arm.
I followed, cranking line back onto the reel. Yes, you can drop the reel and run in a real emergency, but I can reel up as fast as it's wise to swim in close quarters and that keeps the line taut and avoids entanglements. Besides, it was a borrowed reel, and anyway you try not to lose gear.
As I hit the low area, silt dropped the viz to zero, proof our new friend had passed through here, but I came through that and hit the exit. Dave was there. As leader on a penetration dive, it's my responsibility to count divers ahead of me on exit and not leave anyone; I didn't see the rescued diver, but since he was a non-caver I didn't expect him to stick around and be counted, and anyway Dave looked happy so I trusted he had shepherded the guy out.
We swam back to the line, and sure enough the rescued diver was decompressing, with the other two divers who had brought him the air in attendance. I realized this fellow had probably built up quite a decompression obligation. He was wearing an Aladin computer; Dave owns one of those, so I signaled him to move in close and read the display. Dave and I had almost no deco required, so we did a safety stop and surfaced.
Coming past our own boat, we saw that Jim and Pat had quite an impressive deco setup, with two green oxygen hoses over the side and a total of six second stages down at 20 feet. We discussed bringing the diver back from the mooring line to complete his deco on oxygen, and I dropped down (one of my ears had finally had enough of all this up-and-down, and blocked, which it normally never does, but I only had to make it down to 20 feet this time and persuaded it to cooperate). I tied the reel off on one of the regs, and headed forward under the boats back to the mooring line.
When I got there, I signaled to the rescued diver that he should follow the line. He had had good success last time he followed that very line, so he did again and got on oxygen. Dave and I also appropriated some. There's nothing quite like some quality time on oxygen at the end of a long dive, to flush any bad karma out of your system. The fellow was near the end of deco, and after four or five minutes on oxygen was ready to surface. We climbed into our respective boats with practically no fanfare at all and headed back into the Mackinaw City Marina.
The two divers who had brought the air down had come out in another boat, but went back in with us. They introduced themselves as Mike and Steve, from Columbus Ohio. Mike's a police diver, but he said in all the time he's done that he's never rescued anybody; by the time the police show up it's invariably a body-recovery dive. Steve's a securities trader, and says the stress of that job made today's stress not a problem. They had come up from their first dive just after the situation broke and had been sent straight back down with the extra tank, just as Dave and I had been gearing up to go back in.
It may not have been the prettiest dive I ever did, but the key thing is we managed to snatch one from the jaws of Darwin, and everyone went home happy.
