NOTE to lurkers: Generally speaking, the death of a diver is usually not terrorism related (ie peple attacked by sharks, people with health problems); howver, here on the Threat Matrix, we have an interest in scuba divers. See prior threads. FYI.

Body Found in Ocean

Homicide Squad detectives are investigating the death of a 40-year-old man who was found off the shore of Atlantic Beach on Sept. 18 at 8:10 a.m. Nassau police say that a private fishing boat discovered the body of Paul Labella of Brooklyn, floating in the water about 1.5 miles south of Long Beach in the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival, Marine Bureau recovered the body. Labella was wearing a black wet suit and diving gear. He was taken to the Nassau County Medical Examiner’s Office. New York City Police Department’s Missing Person Squad is investigating further.

Sevaral of the mysterious scuba-diver incidents were in Hawaii. This
could be what they were searching for... <<<

All three scuba diver reports would fit in with these reports on the weapons dumped in the sea.

The NY area and the Gulf/florida areas are mentioned.

I got lost in survival foods and did not get to google for the WMD’s, wonder if there are other reports?

I tried the John Bull (author ) search, that was how I got
into the survival food.

Plenty of people poo poohd securing our borders. And your hints are just annoying.

Plenty of people poo poohd securing our borders.

Didn't come across any on FR, although I'm sure some must exist somewhere. I do know of some that pooh-poohed securing our waterways, because they want to secure the borders first. That's your problem: you think one must necessarily come after another. Keep that in mind when someone detonates one of our LNG terminals. You'll be able to say your attention was focused on a more pressing problem.

I been out of that game a LONG time bruddah.

Me too........mines collecting lint on the shelf as well....:o)

My ex took all my gear long ago. Don’t know what she did with the Rocket fins for my 12 EEE feet though. Course, with the EEE’s didn’t really need the fins most of the time. ;>)

You obviously don’t read on FR much. This very thread suggested securing our borders equates to building a fence around our entire coast line.

And thank you for your analysis of my problems. When I want your help I’ll ask. If you bothered to read you’ll see I was saying worrying about scuba diver training is a lower priority than stopping terrorists from walking across our borders.

If they realize there are pig molecules in our feces, no Muzzie diver will go in the water.

I think we can all see where this one is going...

[Nachoman]

Meet our divers, jihadis.

[Tex Pete]

Absolutely. I will be happy to oblige.

Scuba again - curious.
Thank you for the ping!
