The diver, named Shane, also discovered six cannonballs (allegedly imitations) in the water, near the Victoria Swing Bridge, on Sunday and a marine archaeologist came here to read about them on Tuesday to verify and identify their origins.
In late June, Shane made headlines after counting 14 Just Eat motorcycles under the Sandport Bridge and a safe containing a source of pornographic magazines, condoms and CDs. He had first picked up a motorcycle for a frifinish who works for Deliveroo and threw it into the water through other youngsters while making a delivery.
Speaking to the Evening News on Monday, Shane had finished about 8 dives in total in the last two months.
He said: “I’m doing it to give back to the grid and it means less contaminants to fish and less pollutants to us.”
“It’s a danger if you don’t know what to do and you may get killed or stuck, but if you wear proper protection, no contaminant will go into a water-resistant suit and a mask.”
Two weeks ago, Shane discovered 3 cars in Basin 1, which he estimates are over 15 years old, but only the roofs are visible because a lot of silt has accumulated in and around them.
On rainy days, Shane says he can watch a fuel movie in most of the water, but it’s unclear if cars still leak because he can’t see the engines underwater well.
“Underwater discharge”
Hilary Thacker, who runs the Facebook organization Friends of the Water of Leith Basin, described this component of Leith’s water as an “underwater dump,” with Shane locating all kinds of objects, from plastics and symptoms on the road to motorcycles and mopeds when he last dived. Sunday.
Hilary, who shared a video of Shane’s latest dive, said he struggled with a “large amount” of sewage in the water.
Shane says recovering old cars may be feasible if SEPA, watershed owners and fourth port authority can paint in combination to use specialized appliances to eliminate silt and a crane to eliminate them.
It is also the idea that magnetic fishermen care about the recovery of cannonballs, which Shane says weigh up to 30 kg each.
Hilary says one of the the most common theories is that cannonballs were once placed outdoors at the Malmaison hotel in Leith, cleaned up and found the water.
It is understood that a local man also expects to recycle the motorcycles that Shane collects water if they are not claimed, rather than throwing them away, to help meet the upper deguyd for bicycles and provide less public transportation to others.
Shane has also won various requests from members of the public to locate lost non-public pieces that are in Leith’s water, and now has his own Facebook organization called Explore with Shane if he needs to get in touch.
A SEPA spokesman said: “Every day, SEPA works to protect and protect the Scottish environment.
“We welcome efforts to waste any kind of river and can offer recommendations and recommendations to anyone considering cleaning paints at or around Leith Water.
“Anyone who is involved in a potential pollutant incident can report it to www.sepa.org.uk/report.”
