diving mishaps

[LKunze]

Well my mishap is well documented here in previous threads from last year but I lost one of my Turtle fins in Lake Superior at the Hesper wreck site. Jason Baker and I were all geared up and in the water for our first dive on a Friday afternoon. The surge coming in took me by surprise and slammed me into the rocks and I dropped a fin. The fin got sucked into a little cave-like crevice in the breakwall and I couldn't reach it. Since I didn't bring any extra fins with and needed fins with large footpockets to accomadate my Rockboots which the shops in Duluth didn't have, I was left with no choice but to drive all the way back to the twin cities and grab my extra fins and then drive all the way back up. So the first day of diving was scrapped for what ended up being about 12 hours in all on the road that day. :-[
