Poop dive....wouldnt that qualify as a non-wreck dive mentioned in an earlier topic?
Saw one of these types of dives on Dirtiest Jobs....interesting to say the lease.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Boy, you must do some interesting diving Moose.
Just curious... why is the water used for decon not collected and disposed of? Looks like the contamination is just going into the ground??? Is it just not necessary?

This pond wasn't contaminated with toxic chemicals or anything. Just high "choroform" (or something bad) levels. I really don't concern myself with it. We have 2 sceinist on the unit that do the testing and determine the suitablity for divers. (Notice I wasn't wearing a hood either.)
The water would cause infections, sickness, and other biological problems, but the water is not envirmentally unstable. (It was in the pond to begin with.) That is why we are washing next to the pond, so the run off goes back into it. The fire department uses speical bio-degradable chemicals for the rinsing in these cases.
If this would have been a worst toxic chemical, we would be in a full helmet and sealed dive gear. They would be in turnout gear at least, and we would be recovering the run off.

That is one nasty job Moose! I guess someone has to do it.
So the question remains....Did you recover the box or whatever the object was that you were looking for? Is the search still on to find it? I hate not knowing the end of the story, but this one probably doesn't have an end.

So, was the water a "poop dive" before or after Moose got in the water?

What happened was that we reviewed all the tapes from the video cams and we determined that it wasn't likely that they were able to throw something in the pond given the time they were out of site and what they were carring. We did the search anyway to be sure. But we only found and old lawn chair.
