I found some nice shots take by Nick Ambrose on Dive Matrix taken on the P-38 recently and got his permission to post them, so thanks, Nick!

The P-38 is a WWII plane ditched off the coast of Torrey Pines in 1943 in 135 ft. of water and a beautiful, if small wreck to dive when conditions are nice, accessible to recreational and Tech divers alike.

Tooth fragments found in the body of a swimmer who died Friday off Solana Beach confirm that he was attacked by a great white shark.

The county Medical Examiner’s Office conducted the autopsy. Collier, who participated in the procedure, said the serrated-tooth fragments indicate the shark was 15 to 16 feet long.

“White sharks are a natural part of the marine environment in the waters off San Diego,” Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File at the Florida Museum of Natural History, said. “Humans are not owed 100 percent safety when we go into the ocean. The ocean is a wilderness. It’s not a chlorinated swimming pool.”

Eight Taiwanese scuba divers have been rescued nearly 48 hours after going missing off the island’s south, the coastguard said Monday.

In a remarkable feat of endurance, one of the divers managed to swim ashore after a 10 hour swim and told rescuers where they could find the others, a spokesman said.

The six men and two women, all experienced divers, went diving at 10:30 am Saturday near Qi Xing Shi (Seven Star Rock) off Kenting national park, but failed to return to their boat an hour later as scheduled.

After a lengthy wait for rescuers, the group’s coach Ding Bo-ling set off on a more than 10-hour swim for shore, finally reaching land before midnight Sunday at Tai Ma Li, 76 kilometres (47 miles) further north.
