Re: picture of Weirs Beach diving board & raft
As I looked more closely at this diving board I see a very large black inflatable raft that the whole affair sits on. Looks like dead ringer for the one I found out in Weirs Bay a few years ago. I dove it and filmed it as usual and posted it some time ago..
It could well be the same one I found or at least made by the same company. What I found out there was the largest rubber raft I've ever seen-at least 25 feet long minimum and to this day I remain curious about what it was originally used for and of course, how it ended up way offshore.
It had big steel rectangular handles on it and I estimate the side tube diameter when it was inflated to be easily 3 feet.
I'm always impressed with the great historical material Forum members come up with and the variety of it covering a large range of topics.
