Details

Underwater treasure hunt organised by Frog Dive. Like the previous one I participated in (at Panthers Aqua Golf in 1992 and not even logged), with one important difference. The idea was to search for tokens (in this case, potatoes) and exchange them for raffle tickets. Unlike that event, here each diver was only allowed one ticket. There goes the plan. I met and buddied up with Robb Whitewood (whose partner Allison wasn't diving) and out we went with about 200 others. Robb found a potato straight away but we had to do a line search to find mine (memo: a length of cord is a handy addition to the kit). Didn't win anything in the raffle, though.

Weather: clear and sunny. Allison sent pictures from her iPhone.
