Issue #2 Snippets

N.E.S.T. by Joseph Kaffl: On June 12, 1999 NEST (Northeast Sump Exploration Team) members Eric Tensau and myself returned to the Locust Creek cave system in West Virginia to continue our exploration efforts. NEST is a formally recognized project of the NSS consisting of a team of sump divers and support personnel who pursue explorations at cave systems in the PA, VA, and WV areas. We at NEST survey and document these sites with still and video techniques and also engage in biological surveys, and water sampling.

Lake Invaders by Joe Rojas: The Great Lakes have a nasty reputation as being some of the most treacherous waters to shipping in the entire world. In the 150 years that modern man has been navigating the lakes there have been an estimated 10,000 shipwrecks. These waters have everything from old wooden sailing ships to modern freighters scattered across the bottom. The fresh water and cold temperatures of the area preserve these wrecks in pristine condition, but just like the artificial reefs of the open oceans, shipwrecks of the Great Lakes become a home for many living organisms. Non-native zebra mussels, freshwater sponges, hydroids, byrozoans, and other aquatic life forms inhabit each piece of maritime history on the bottom of the lakes.

Drift Decompression by Curt Bowen: Deeper sites that require extended decompression many items are located in areas of strong currents, such as the Gulf Stream off the southeastern coast of the United States. Strong currents can turn an otherwise easy dive into a grueling experience, greatly increasing the diver’s gas consumption rates.
