The day our crew mistook public art for a salvage job

In my neighborhood, the city put up a weird metal sculpture near the dock last week. From far away, it looked exactly like a pile of old dive weights and anchors, all mixed together. My team got a message from a buddy saying there was new work at the harbor. We grabbed our gear and headed out, only to find folks taking pictures with this shiny art thing. In my experience, people on land often don't get what real diving equipment looks like, so we ended up chuckling with the artist about his 'underwater inspiration'. Your mileage may vary, but I always verify site details now before I even touch my suit. It was a silly mix-up that taught me to look twice, both above and below the water.
