Carthaginian

[DiveMaven]

Hey, has anyone dove the Carthaginian yet out of Lahaina? Wondering if it's worth trying to do in April when we're there. :06:

Im sure some critters will have settled there by then, but not a lot. Nees a couple of years to coral up.

I'm hoping to do it next week when I'm there.

Oooh, will you post a report on what you think when you get home?? Also definitely if you recommend it or not? THANKS!!!

I'm really curious what it's like too - A friend and I are talking about kyaking out and diving it - I saw 2 dive boats sitting over it when I drove home an hour ago (5:30pm) which seemed rather late for most dives around here, unless they doing a twilight/night dive in a bit...

Let us know what you think when you dive it...

Aloha, Tim

Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of it before I have to make a decision. My dilemma is that we only have 4 dive days on this trip (waaaa!) and I'm just not sure if it's worth giving up a charter to Molokini for.

I've thought about doing a 4 dive day, but since she's in 95' of water, that doesn't make for the best profile of doing the deepest dive 3rd.... What time does B&B's last morning dive end? If we're done diving in the morning by 10:30, a 3 hour SI should be enough to do a 95' dive for the 3rd dive of the day, wouldn't it?

how 'bout starting with a 130' dive, make the next one 110' and then do the Carth at 95' ... that would make it the shallowest dive of the day

btw - I'm just kidding ... for those that don't understand sarcasm...

B&B is usually back before 10am. Sometimes as early as 9:30.

Thanks Al, it's good to know when we'll be back so I can plan my naps accordingly! <LOL> I can't see us doing a 2 charter day, but you never know....

Here's the deal, when we dive with B&B we can get to McDonalds before they quit serving McGriddles and then B&B is about 100 yards away so we can pick up a couple of tanks and get some shore diving done. Of course that leaves us with plenty of time to turn those tanks back in for a couple of more tanks for our night dives.

I dive in mud usaully so when I'm in paradise I don't waste the day
