Lake Wazee Trash or Treasure

[john j]

I know about the removal of the artificial seeweed and have ideas as to who was involved. Let me say a big thank you to them first of all. I'm not going to mention any names, but I will say 2 things in their defense. (1) I never saw any fish swimming around that ugly piece of crap and I've racked up many hours doing deco on those fish cribs. If fish were really using it, I would have seen it at least once. (2) The day before it was removed, someone had trashed it and dropped it into the trees on the 60ft ledge breaking several trees and limbs as it crashed to the bottom. That was very sad. I personally am glad to see that eyesore gone. As far as the "homeless fish"...seems that fish were doing just fine before any of that crap was in there. When I first started diving there, there were lots of fish and that was before fish cribs or anything else. Nature doesn't rely on man for support, but rather man relies on nature for support. Trashing our environment just doesn't make sense.

Regarding people getting bored at Wazee...if that's the case, then go somewhere else or get a new hobby. No one is forcing you to dive. If diving is boring to you the solution is simple-do soemthing else. I average about 100 dives per year in Wazee, have been doing it since 1991 and I'm not bored yet.
