For Regatta dive team, 'the more boring, the better' By Damon Hunzeker Times-News writer BURLEY - Steve Sequeira gave the Minidoka County sheriff's dive team something to do Saturday afternoon at the 2009 Idaho Regatta in Burley. Sequeira, a racer from Tustin, Calif., who hadn't participated in the Idaho Regatta until this year, was competing in a K-boat race when, while heading east at 135 mph and trying to navigate the turn around Crow Island in the Snake River, he ran into a driver next to him. While uninjured, his boat flipped, causing a spectacular splash that silenced the crowd and the competition for about an hour. "Within seconds, divers were on top of him. The boat sunk immediately," Capt. Dan Kindig, of the Minidoka Sheriff's Office, said. "We found pieces of his boat inside the other boat." Sequeira, like other racers, was equipped with a bottle of oxygen inside his capsule, which could provide three minutes of air, but he didn't need it. "I saw us coming together for a split second, and then I started tumbling," he said. "The boat landed up. I calmed down, went through my escape plan from the cockpit, and got out before it sunk." Another boat flipped Friday, but again, the driver was uninjured, and the dive team responded immediately. For the first time in 22 years, the dive team, comprising nine people, was provided exclusively by Minidoka, rather than the combined efforts of both Cassia and Minidoka counties. "This is the first time we've done everything ourselves, but we haven't missed a lick," Kindig said, adding that Cassia County's services are missed but not a source of contention. "I have the utmost professional opinion of their dive team, and we get along great." Crashes don't happen often, though. David Baker, an EMT with Cassia Regional Medical Center, watched from a chair in the back of an ambulance. "We basically get paid to sit here and watch the races," he said. "The more boring, the better." Sitting in his RV without a boat, Sequeira complimented the rescue team and didn't sound deterred. "I love this place," he said. "I'm absolutely coming back next year." Like Sequeira, drivers from across America - regardless of winning, losing, or crashing - tended to praise the Burley event. Kip Brown, of Maple Valley, Wash., said adjusting boats to deal the elevation is difficult but emphasized that the Snake River presents welcome challenges. "It's tough here with the elevation, the wind on the water, the island, making narrow turns," he said. "The first time I was here 14 years ago, I left with a new girlfriend from Burley." They broke up. Duff Daily, of Stuart, Fla., was concise. "The elevation's a pain in the butt, but I think it's the best place in the United States to race," he said. www.magicvalley.com |
