Ghost Net Recovery #9 of 13
May 26th, 2001 Haleiwa Harbor Entrance, North Shore, Oahu
Captain Chris Lolley spotted this net as we were returning from a boat dive and we immediately conducted the recovery in 10-15 feet of water. Thanks to Harbor Master Paul's approval as this area is a dangerous place for divers. Recovery took about 30 minutes and one 7-11 Crab was saved. Once again this net had already done much damage by ripping up coral heads. Total length of the net was approximately 75 feet. Thank you to our customer Robert for his help in water and for the rest of you on the boat. Barbara, watch out for those crabs!
