Hello all! Just wanted to share my experiences from this past weekend.
First: Weather Forecasters are once again proven wrong. Winds never went further around than NW, never built to 20-25kt. Seas never built to 5-7ft.
Dove Sat AM and PM, Sun AM and Monday AM with Capt. Tony on the Diversity :dazzler1: Did Drift dives on Sat AM, and Sunday AM, and the Sea Empress on Sat PM and Mon AM. Air temp was in the 60's-70's Sat and Sunday, in the 50's-60's on Sunday. Water temp was 72-74 on all sites.
I grabbed one lobster, by hand (no snare, no stick, no net), another local hunter got 5 more.
The Reef Dives were very good, visibility in the 30-40' range, currents light and to the south. Seas were 2' swells, and very nice.
Currents on the Sea Empress Monday AM were pretty stiff, not so bad up near the Boca Trenches for the Drift Dive.
I enjoyed myself so much, I'll be back 2/3-2/8 with Capt. Tony, and will be looking for more bugs in their holes!
I can't stress enough how impressed I am with Tony's ability to drop us where no one else is, and make entries/exits quick and painless! If you are in the area, check out his operation at http://www.thediversity.com
