Interesting, how would you compare marine life activity during those hours say to usual nite dive hours, say 7:00-9:00 pm?? I have noticed that larger critters say octopus, channel crabs, lobsters, eels, tend to head out early for the hunt, while we have better luck finding the smaller...

Did you realize that Nat was a former employee of Divetech many moons ago, and actually worked there at the shop when they first opened at Turtle Reef?

Interesting.. I went out into the sand at 60-65' where there used to be a massive algae patch that we would spend hours in scouring for macro critters. Little remains of the algae, what is there, has been battered and abused, did find a couple pipefish . Hopefully with the cooler water temps, (...

That was Ollen Miller/ Sundivers. He retired.

Did we bump tanks? I was there about 8:30-11:00 am.. :wink: Cindy

Not sure if packages will be offered as believe they are 3 separate entities? I was up there yesterday with a few friends.. Dock is fine, lower newer set-up facilities took a hit, but plenty of room up top for folks to set up gear. Since we are primarily macro hunters we never made it to mini...

Not sure about either of Divetech's shore diving options nor Sunset House, but Sergio with Don Fosters, Mario with Eden Rock and Nat with Indepth over at TR/ Macabuca all plan on having shore diving available on Saturday. The silver lining to all of this is the fact that an awful lot of badly...

Yep . it's pretty ugly here right now.. but that being said. It's not the first rodeo for these folks. Sure they'll be picking up the pieces quickly and back in action in no time.

A true icon of the industry. He truly had a passion for the underwater world and was more than willing to share his knowledge and experience. Condolences to those closest.

My 2 cents, if you have family with you , you go to Grand. CCoast gets blown out on a very regular basis in the winter months, more so than any other shore diving facility. Sunshine Suites is across the street from the beach, but it has a much nicer beach than that at Comfort Suites. However...

Brian, Based on my experience, and I spend the majority of the winter here on Grand, the further into March you can wait, the better. For certain? Heck No! The most popular areas for diving, the West and the North are highly subject to cold fronts coming down from the states, December through...

Your little fishy, is a Dragonet . I don't have my books for your region with me, but it gives you a place to start!

Bob, Also understand depending on time of day, from where you are staying, on Patricks island, plan on it taking anywhere from 30-45-60 minutes to get up to the NWPT area of the island . !! Traffic!!!!

Turtle Reef / Macabuca Bar & Grill, Easy to arrange both day and night dives! Northwest Pt. Subject to Nor westers, Windguru.com and their webcam are your friends. I spend a lot of time here during the winter months underwater. DiveTech, Vivo Restaurant, Easy for both day and night dives! Easy...

Time to turn the walk around,, and get the gear bag loaded. NOW!:wink: Seas are changing Monday!!!

If you are referring just to the "red" it is a sponge, Brown Bowl Sponge, Cribrochalina vasculum.

I didnt say anything in regards to the quality of the diving. At this point in my life after thousands of dives, it's not just the diving but the friendships along the way.. This is my happy place , where I can easily go, have a relaxed dive , poke along and see what surprises the reef has...

Well I've been to Florida, Mexico, numerous places in the Caribbean, the South Pacific, Komodo, Raja, Bali, a couple of Michigan inland lakes, and yet on any given day , hands down with a great group of island buddies and a terrific dive operator, this is where I would choose to be...

Going elsewhere on Christmas Day would be an issue without reservations as choices will be limited most likely to larger hotels with eateries on site. I expect the island will be very busy , as it was last year during that week, and would suggest reservations for any outside restaurants of...
