Shark Fishing Looe 1959

[@jonzflicks]

I do remember this. It was a place for my early diving holidays. There were also spear fishing contests organised by diving clubs. The water was so clear, even in the river. They were wonderful times but I'm glad the shark slaughter has now finished and diving clubs are more wreck orientated!
