Talked yesterday with my buddy (Greg, AKA 'Frox' on DB) about the possibility of diving today because forcast showed strong eastern winds, and since our coast is facing west it falttens the sea most of the times.
Flat sea means it's much easier to get further (=deeper, because it's rather shallow here), and maybe even better than the usual crappy viz. Finally! after waiting for some weeks and being dry for almost 2 months - a potential diving day!
Greg woke me up at 10:30am, after he has passed near the sea: "winds are quite strong, but the sea is flat".
I called Said (Freediver81) to ask him to join, but he didn't asnwer.
About an hour+ later, which included fighting traffic on what has become a hot smoggy day I picked him up and we even found a lucky parking spot. Greg noticed that there weren't as many people on the beach as one would expect for that kind of weather. Going down the stairs towards the beach we saw the sign: BATHING IS FORBIDDEN DUE TO POLLUTION!
Then I recalled reading in the newspapers that there was a day about a week ago when they let some sewage out to the sea "accidentaly".
Before even starting contemplating on the nature of the hazards Greg told me that there's no chance he is going in (can't blame him).
When I got home a friend told me that they poured sewage for 3 continous days this week as well.
Another friend told me that people she knew came back from a cruise and told her that there was shit floating everywhere.
Anybody wanna eat some fish?
