DivingStupid Diving Incident #1
Diving on the breakwater in Plymouth I found a stainless steel boat anchor wedged in the rocks about halfway up the breakwater at a depth of 10 metres.
Knowing I could sell said anchor for a few beer vouchers I set about recovering it by wiggling out from between the rocks until eventually it came free.
Suddenly adding a 20kg anchor to you does tend to make you plunge to the bottom of Plymouth Sound rather rapidly, resulting in earache from not being able to equalise quickly enough and a very slow ascent back to the surface to prevent the bends.
And I had to leave the anchor behind.
