Been going through the Interwebz, and I see that a the operations that used to be on Cape Cod have shut down. Anyone know if there are boats still around on the Cape...I was going to spend some vacation time there, so I don't want to drive to Boston to get on a boat. Thanks!
Any charter boats left on Cape Cod?

I live on the cape near Barnstable Harbor. I do see a large boat with a dive flag on it. I can ask for you but it won't be before the weekend. Let me know.

Diver8492, I'll check tomorrow and let you know what I find out. Don't dive up here so surprised the choice is either cape cod or florida keys 
but I am a wuss diver.

Especially if Large Marge is stalking the area as she does daily during the summer.

Diver8492,
Unfortunately the boat called the Yahoo the owner died recently diving in NC. So the boat just sits for now. I am told by the harbor master that
one of the charter boats may go out but he is good person to talk with anyway "Lucky Lady II" John Carty 508-362-1249. Not much good about diving as mentioned but biking and kayaking are great on cape cod. Can see interest. sorry didn't find out more. have used dive shop sea sports in hyannis for some things but not for diving per se. (508-790-1217).
again sorry didn't find out more info.

Thanks so much for taking the time. Do you know anyone who rents outboards suitable for diving? I found one place in Provincetown that has smaller boats, but they don't seem to answer my emails. I have found a few good dives in the harbors, weather permitting. Of course, if you have any recommendations for small boat dives, I would love to hear them.

Well, I have never seen seals along the bay side of the Over sands vehicle area--whales and porpoises though (of course there seem to be plenty of seals on the Atlantic side, and, curiously, they always in close enough to get on the beach).
Nor I have seen any around Hatches harbor south of the Over sand vehicle area although Im sure there is plenty of hooked bait. But I have only been there for a few days.
How many shark sightings are there on the bay side within sight of shore?

Ask the researchers there that are tracking them on the Atlantic side, quite a few there as I hear it. The largest being marge at 18' a big mama. Last time I went whale watching out of Ptown there was a nice fat seal laying on the sand at the tip of Race Point. I don't remember hearing anything about tracking on the bay side. However there ain't no fences down there.
