the only time ive ever seen people diving in the canal is when they were building the new pier at the maritime academy. also, they inspect that same structure every now and then.
even when people drown in the canal, they usually float with the tide out the mouth. a guy fell off the bridge while painting a number of years ago and his saftey rope was too long. he hit the water and was dead on impact most likely. they picked him up just outside the west end of the canal.
