Maritime Authority here disapprove of barnacles knocked off in the water, though the process attracts hungry fish. I can swim and pee(far too much info) but can`t pump it thru a head.
Better hull cleaning divers here use compressed air to blow build up off the antifoul. Brushing the antifoul surface usually ended its effectiveness but cleaning with air jets is much kinder to it. Is that allowed in Puget Sound?
