Hi all.
I just got back from 5 days in Eastport, ME. I dove there 3 years ago just did the sardine cannery wall for the most part. This time we ventured further afield and went over to Deer Is. in New Brunswick. My first Canada dive and WOW--one of the nicest I have dove (in my top 5 and I have dove in a fair number of places). I think the smallest lobster I saw was 5 lbs (divers can't take them up there) and huge wolf fish (3), lump fish and ocean pout. The walls were just covered in sea anemones, sponges, tunicates--very beautiful. The wolffish by Jonathan Bird's place attacked me--thankfully didn't bite through me
--I think he thought my whistle, which was attached to my BC and whipping wildly in the current, was a snack for him. That added some extra excitement to an already crazy dive (we were off with the currents). Another Eastport site had at least a70' wall full of critters. If you are up that way, Eastport is definitely worth the detour!
