I was diving at Casino Point for my AOW class this Sat. and during a surface interval I had a father and two kids (about 16 or so) come up and ask me if there were alot of fish and how the water was. Both of the boys were carring 6' wood poles with knife blades stuck in the end. I replied "waters fine....what are those?!", he said the boys had made them and were going to do some fish'n. "I would'nt do that if I were you....this area is all protected". He smiled and walked off with his boys towards the water. I had to laugh....they didnt even get thier fins on before being mobbed by other divers. Needless to say, they didnt make it into the water.
drbill:
He should get over the angle shark riding fiasco and stop blaming SSI for it. What does he expect SSI to do about it, anyway? I mean really, no animals were injured...and even if they were, what would he expect?
What did Chris, do call SSI to complain?
Takes a one-time incident and paints the whole agency with it. What an....lawyer.
OP
Thanks for the clarification czzzaar. I can't see ChrisM's post right now, but I certainly think the shark riding incident deserves criticism (although not the agency itself). ChrisM is a lawyer? Damn, I really liked the guy (just teasing Chris).
DivingFlyer- I saw the same father and kids and spent some time talking to them about "spear fishing" on Catalina. It is actually not allowed in the waters of Avalon (stretching from the Hamilton Cove condos to Ring Rock just past Lover's Cove). From there to the East End (and beyond) it is allowed. Of course that is also the area where most of the great white sightings occur!
