Kayak Diving

Kayak diving is a great way to visit the site. Also, it's good on gas, and good exercise.


This is the launch point. Our destination is about 3/4 mile away. That's Dick Trodick working on his red kayak. I'm working on my yellow one in the background. The third kayak is going to being used by Dr. Kira Kaufmann, Marine Archaeologist. We are giving her a tour of the Sunrise Wreck debris field this day.

We are checking our gear to be sure that everything is tied down well, and that tether lines are fastened to the SCUBA tank, the buoyancy compensator, gear bag, paddle, etc. We don't want to loose anything in a role over.

Here Dick Trodick is about to change position. The yellow line here acts both as an anchor and a tow line for the kayak. The kayak tows easy. You almost don't notice any drag. It's nice to have your boat with you all through the dive.
