Car Pile Tires

Car Pile Tires

Hi friends, here’s another fun picture of Mark exploring the Curacao Car Pile or what we are now calling the Junk Pile!  I forgot to give you all the link yesterday to the history of this pile-o-rusted-stuff so if you have a moment read this,  http://www.the-dive-bus.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=342  This is another piece of upside down Curacao history now completely engulfed in corals and sponges making a nice little artificial reef of sorts.  I am constantly blown away by how long a tire can last underwater??  This one here has been submerged for around 60 years and it still looks like it have air in it and could be used?  This was again found at around 115 feet which unfortunately makes your visits very short but it sure is fun!  This is one of those sites you could dive everyday on vacation and never find all the treasures that lay down there.  Aimee and I are headed back here tomorrow in our quest to discover new and unusual things so stay tuned for more!  Oh yeah, for those of you wondering what is on Marks back, well that’s his rubber chicken that goes everywhere he does, gives you a little hint to the type of fun and crazy guy he is!!   

Work was again MEGA busy!!  Normally I get home at 4:30 but today I got home at 5:30 that doesn’t happen to often.  This is a fall holiday for half or part of the Netherlands, the other half of the country has their vacation starting next week, figure that out if you can??  That’s about it, have a wonderful evening and thanks for tuning in again, Sunny regards, Barry
