What in a name?
Actually, I don't really don't know... Unless they have their nametags on them, I can't tell them apart and even if they did I don't think I could read it. When we dive the blue waters of the tropics it fun to try to identify the marine life and check them off a scorecard as we go along. However when we're diving in the lake there is so little life down there our thoughts turn to other interests, like artifacts. When we do happen on to a large creatures I'm always taken by surprise and startled. Even the fish are startled and in a split second they're gone. I've interacted or watched from a distance, many marine creatures on the bottom, but not for long, bottom time is very precious and I'm there on a mission and need to get to the task at hand.
I'm a treasure hunter and I'm looking for artifacts from a bygone era. I have explored more of the bottom of the lake than anyone else. However I'm constantly amazed that I can dive an area over and over and the very next dive in the same spot find something that is very rare or valuable. People are constantly asking me to find things for them and most usually I do. I get kick out the fact it's almost never where they think it is. Like Fat Lazy Less' motor... Where he thought it was (in 60' of water) had us dressing like we were voyaging into the artic sea, only to be directly under our boat in 10'.... I never did get my free meal from him.... I'll have to harass him again this summer.
