yeah, i haven't seen Scubakevdm in ages... wonder what's up with him
OP
I heard he lost his left nipple in a tragic bowling accident.
While I'm here, I suppose I may as well pen yet another exciting installment of
Seas were nearly flat due to a very chilly breeze out of the Northwest that almost caused an actual nipple tragedy. Water temperature was 75 degrees. Current was slight south on the Castor for dive one, and slight north on Lynn's for dive two. Vis was 45 and 25 feet respectively.
The Castor, for those who don't know was sunk on December 14, 2001 in 115 feet of water where she sits upright with her bow to the South. The wreck is 268 feet long by 37 feet wide by 50 feet tall rising to within 60 feet of the surface. Hurricane Wilma ripped most of her starboard side off, although about a 50 ton hunk of it is currently hanging by a thread. It pops as it sways back and forth in the current. There are at least six resident jewfish, two of them are XL. The Castor's engine room is pretty roomy and multilevel. Usually you can come face to face with one of the bruiser sized jewfish in there. I mostly played outside today though. It was fun!
Next, we were off to Lynn's reef. Lynn's is a ledge that runs along the crest of the Northern part of the Boynton reef system. There's usually tons of fish up there, as was the case today. I only made about half of the dive due to responsibilities topside, but I did manage to see a hermit crab trying to evict a tulip, two big green morays and a marauding school of large yellow jacks that were terrorizing the reef. Even though the vis was a bit off, it was still a great dive.
