Best thing you found while diving

  • well, i know this was not diving in some tropical waters, but it was still under water.
    while spending a visit to switzerland in summer 2008, i went and do what i normally trying to avoid. entering the water without a speargun. carryied my cam instead. this is the river "limmat" , zurichs biggest river , that flows all the way through the city. in the summer very popular for people bathing all along the river.
    10 years ago there was europes biggest open drug-szene located just along the river at this place where you see me diving. after they closed down that szene, i went and dive there the following summer.
    very creepy. needles,spoons, knives,cellphones,bicycles,guns,amunition, covered the ground. along with samurai-sword, parking-meter, money-safe, church-donationbox, basically anything that the junkies carried to that place in exchange for drugs, and been throwing into the river during the many police-raids.
    at that time i picked up 135 of the same famous swiss-armyknife in two days. the dealers used them to portioned the drugs.
    the same summer the towns diving-policesquad made a big riverclean up. the foto with the things they pulled out that river made it to the frontpage of the local paper. apperntly i did not found all the guns.
    anyway, after that year they continued doing a yearly river clean up.
    but as you can see in my vid, there are still some "good stuff" to find.
    for the ones who havent seen it, all the best....

    I hate to ruin the fantasy,but these ladies were no porn stars. It was more reminiscent of an elephant seal haul out.

  • Nice video Tinu. For those that asked and commented on it the weed was dry and all. I only opened the package to check for cash. After seeing the content I just threw it back in the water. Its not worth going to jail for or having the FWC/Sheriff escort you back to port to search the whole boat etc....

    You could have lied ;) I know the spot I think? 25 years ago I swam to the beach and fell asleep for a few hrs. (hang over) and when I woke up I was surrounded with a dozen ''guys'on beach towels' in speedo's and no chicks. They were cool, and I thought I might start my long swim North to my car.

    Funny. I think that's Smugglers Cove. AKA bonesmokers. Ironically, it can be an epic dive when it cleans up. My encounter was actual along the San Pedro coast. Known for dead bodies and now lesbians.
