|
|
| 4/5 of the 2007 P.R.O.B.E. Dive Team. "Footless
Jer" took the picture, but at the time he was still two-footed. |
|
|
| You can't tell from the picture, but Bridgette,
Jeremy, Kat and Dan are frozen to the rocks. Seriously, it
was that cold. Jeremy's foot snapped off and was stolen by
an Arctic hare. Poor kid lost his tetherball scholarship. |
|
|
| 'Bitey' the polar bear, and our competition
in the search for Jeremy's foot. Two days earlier we lost our
six undergraduate 'volunteer' phycologists to Bitey after a
tragic accident during a somewhat ill conceived hot air balloon
survey of potential new SCUBA sites. We were determined Bitey
would not also get Jeremy's foot. |
|
|
| Everyone frantically searching for Jeremy's
lost foot. Except for Kat, Kat remained casual. |
|
|
| Dan, ever the calm professional, continued
to collect samples while simultaneously searching for Jeremy's
foot and avoiding the gnashing chompers of Bitey the polar
bear. We never did find the foot but Jeremy was sent home with
a pocketful of dreams, a head full of truly unforgettable memories
and a good pub story. |
|
|
| Bridgette unequivocally puts to rest the rampant
rumours that drysuit diving in the sub-Arctic is a glamourous
and sexy endeavour. |
