Stonington — You never know what you might find in the waters off of Stonington Point.

Bill Dutton of Gales Ferry and Lynn Mansel of Bozrah went scuba diving Wednesday to take photos of fish and look for artifacts. They go scuba diving every week of the year, weather-permitting, and often come to Stonington Point because it is convenient and a safe area to dive.

They joked that they haven't found a mermaid yet and are still looking.
