Anybody hear about this? Gruesome!

Let's swim with the sea lions, they said. It will be fun, they said.

Exactly why I never go in the water near San Jorge. Had to be a great white.

Bueller? Bueller?


Nobody?

You are late to the party. Reported on these boards a few days ago.

How in da hell did I miss dat'?

Meh. Still saying as above.

First time we pulled up a great white on a fish head in a panga at the tip of San Jorge told me everything I ever needed to know.

Someone told me today he was a hooka diver/???

Someone once told me ocean hookah diving is illegal in Mexico, just not enforced like a lot of other things. Anyone know if that's true?

Kind of like the requirement to have a license plate on a Mexican car. Have to remember "This is Mexico"

I would like to know what a hookah, hooka, diver is, never heard of that method of fishing, or taking of sea life.

Pardon me for being a wise guy, but Google provides information sources for things you never heard of. Broadly speaking, hookah diving involves the use of an air hose to the diver. People do it this way for a variety of reasons including cleaning the bottom of boats and collecting things off the bottom of a lake or ocean. Not as mobile as scuba diving, but cheaper.
