Gilboa Quarry
Gilboa, Ohio, USA
January 15, 2006
Glen Fisher, who spent 6 months last
Spring/Summer attending school in San Diego, anticipating an "Endless
Summer" of underwater bliss, drove out there with his car stuffed to
the headliner with all of his dive gear, including two full tanks. Soon after
arriving, as fate would have it,
our hero fell under the spell of a non-diving maiden and came home this past November with his two tanks still full.
Not having made even a single dive, despite his apartment being minutes
from the beach...,
after subjecting himself to merciless
ridicule from his peers these past few months, Glen finally returned to the water this
frigid, yet mild January 35°
F [2°
C] morning. Choosing to dive wet in 40°
F [4°
C] water, I can not say for sure out of penance or poverty, but boy did Ed & I get a
few laughs!
The images that follow serve as ample
documentation of the excursion...
