Kingston Belly Dumper Line

[DeepBound]

The line from shore to the Kingston Belly Dumper is covered for most of its length with silt and zebra mussels. That makes it very hard to see if you swim any more than 5-10ft above it. And as you know, its difficult to do this as a recreational no-deco dive without staying well above the line.

Would whoever is responsible for placing and maintaining this line please clean it up. Perhaps if you used longer stakes that wouldn't happen. Right now it is a safety hazard. I don't have a scooter to buzz along and clean it myself, so I'd appreciate if those responsible for the line could maintain it with their scooters.

To clarify, I entered at the west side of the dock behind the Kingston Psych Hospital, as shown on the map, followed the pipe (shown in red) along the bottom to about 50ft, then at the stop sign followed the line (shown in yellow) to the wreck (black rectangle).

Also, you need to put in another line connecting the KBD to the KPH wreck. How are we supposed to find the other wreck and find our way back without a line?

If its a hazard don't do it. If you want a line put in, do it yourself.

Were you admitted?

Were you admitted?

ROFL
No, they keep saying that I'm just *pretending* to be insane to get on disability

What dive shop did you say you're with? NTD?
You're not very helpful :shakehead

What does the dive shop I frequent have to do with anything?

I helped put that line in a couple years ago. Sorry it doesn't meet your needs. If you can do better feel free to purchase your own line, and spend your own time to put one in. This is the reason all the new lines are bein kept to ourselves.

I just checked the other forum where you spend most of your time http://www.thescubaforum.com/ and I dont see your latest rants there.

thinking this one out I am now at the conclusion that providiing and publicizing new dive sites is not a good idea. Thanks Deepbound for making this clear to me.

I concur. No good deed goes unpunished it seems. I'll save my work for those that appreciate it and make contributions of their own.

Sounds like a very good project for ya Neil, go for it.

Last time my buddy and I were there, mid April, we had no problem following the line.
