Moving to Madison from California.

[John H. Moore]

Well, we're seriously off topic, but... ;-)

The submarine you're talking about is the S-37, down off Imperial Beach (south San Diego County). It's in very shallow water in close to shore. Ever since one of the major sewage spills down south of there at the Tijuana River outlet (year?), everything down there has been covered in a lot more life. I was on the S-37 a couple years ago and it was covered in a really thick layer of mussels (not unlike a Lake Michigan wreck dive I did a few years ago, where you could peel off whole chunks of zebra mussels). Wherever the way in was, you couldn't find it for all the growth. Those who've been in, even pretty hard core wreck divers, advise against it. It was pretty freakin' small. (As Keith apparently knows firsthand!)
