Other strategies have been employed by Nessie chasers in more recent times, utilizing modern, high-tech equipment. Unlike earlier attempts to find Nessie, the more recent ones have taken the search to Nessie’s own domain: the dark water beneath the surface of Loch Ness. As the next chapter will show, these underwater searches have produced results that are both tantalizing and controversial. It’s time for us to descend into the deep, dark depths of Loch Ness and see what the fuss is all about. indd 34 12/8/09 1:47:52 PM 3 Searching Beneath the Surface I n the 1960s, the surgeon’s photo and Tim Dinsdale’s motion picture were still regarded by many Nessie hunters as strong evidence for the existence of at least one large, unknown beast in Loch Ness.
That would go a long way toward explaining why the “heads” of the objects in the three photographs all looked different—a difficult detail to explain, unless one assumes Nessie to be an accomplished shape-shifter like its Kelpie predecessors. All in all, Rines’s photos turned out to be a bust. No one has come up with any better underwater photo evidence in the years since Rines’s 1975 effort. So it is not surprising that many Nessie hunters believe—despite the questionable initial interpretation of Rines’s 1972 sonar results—that if Nessie really exists in the deep, dark, peaty waters of Loch Ness, it’s more likely to be detected by sonar than by camera.
The harbor seal may not be the only seal that visits the loch. Its larger cousin, the gray seal, may also visit Nessie’s home once in a while. A 10-foot-long (3-m), 550-pound (250kg) bull gray seal would certainly make quite a commotion splashing around in the water, and it could account for a sizeable hump in the water if it lolled around at the surface. Peter Costello, the Nessie hunter who was convinced the Surgeon’s photo was authentic, was certain that Nessie was a seal. C. Oudemans, Costello enthusiastically proposed that Nessie was a huge, long-necked seal as yet unknown to science.
