The Search Continues
We spent the next few days diving Fish Den, since that was the site we actually tied up to dive on the day we sank. The "fishing buoy" was really Canyon Reef, the site we were aiming for on the day of the incident. We found all sorts of remnants, large gouges in the reef were the boat scraped to get to its final resting spot, two large chunks of the boat wedged in holes, a lot of smaller pieces that we cleaned up and the engine. The engine was too close to shore for us to retrieve since the waves were still rough. We never did find any of my gear, at least not in the ocean. Another dive shop found a fin on a site, Blue Channel, about half a mile away. They had it in their dive shop and were playing with it when Luke walked by and saw it. He asked them where they found it and they told him. He the asked if by any chance it had a name on it and if that name was mine. They were very surprised when he got it right. So I got back my last fin. That is all that I had left from the sinking.
