Dan Bauer from Sidney Dive Centre (Dive'n Surf) just sent out an email to his distribution list indicating he has bought all the stock from Liquid Heaven. Apparently he has some equipment that appears to have been given to Liquid Heaven for repairs. If its yours or your know whos it is, he says he'll return it to its owner. He can be reached 250-896-0979.
Incidentally he re-opened in some space rented from the Dive College out by Sleggs (visible from Pat Bay Hwy), and just as quickly as he re-opened he sold the whole operation(including charter boat) to a couple from Alaska. Hopefully the whole community will benefit from it. Time will tell.
Hello Folks!
I have just come back from a long week-end diving trip to Victoria.
A couple of friends of mine mentioned to me that the city of Victoria does not have sewage treatment plants and dumps raw sewage into the ocean.
When I decided to dive at Ogden Point I was excited about diving from a breakwater (I am a novice diver) with a dive shop and cafe' nearby and I did not think much of what those people told me.
During the dive I though the water was OK and felt 'safe' from exposing myself to nasty bacteria etc.
Now I am writing a story about my diving experiences in Vancouver Island and I have began to think harder about this issue of dumped raw sewage along that stretch of the island coast.
Betty Pratt-Johnson in her "151 Dives in protected waters of British Columbia and Washington State" did include this dive site in her book without mentioning the possibility of immersing yourself into a sea of floating human waste, chemicals of all sorts and heavy metals.
What are your feelings about it?
My feeling is if you are going to post inflammatory statements about a city we know and love you should move this post to the whine and cheese forum and keep the politics out of it.
Please take this bull$**** somewhere else
