Inshore o.c we dove the h bouy and boated a 34 inch flounder, temp on the bottom was 65 in about 75 fsw with 25 foot vis. Second dive was a wood wreck 7 miles off the beach in 55 fsw with a temp of 65 on the bottom and 15-20 feet of vis. Everyone got a good long soak with run times averaging 70 to 75 min. This wreck was covered in flounder and everyone got dinner.

Offshore o.c. 32 miles to the 150 wood wreck. What a great day!!!! Blue water on top with a temp of 78 degrees on the hang and vis that went 60 feet. The temp on the bottom was 58 and vis was a solid 25 in 155fsw. I got my first deep water kills by boating one 15 pound taug on each dive. Other bounty included the scallop palooza and bugs for those in the know on this wreck.

Anyone on the penninsula who wants to get in on the action shoot me a pm.

Very nice, I'm not on the penninsula, but would love to dive up there.
Are non-speros welcome? I only shoot with a camera, but don't mind others doing so, most of my Va. Beach buddies shoot fish. I will help eat anything though.
Do you do 2 on that deep wreck or just 1 long 1? Deco allowed?

Hey Rad,
I have been entertained reading your reports as well. We do two dives on the deep stuff, si usually 2.5 before dive two. Deco is mandatory, bouncing that is insane even by my standards. Sunday the down line was hung at 75 feet, with the travel line going forward from there. Surface supplied 70% via four regs at 40 fsw and again at 20fsw. and a additional deco line hung to a depth of 30fsw near the other down line.
Pretty nice hugh?
I did twenty on the bottom and a leisurely 28 min of deco, becuase conditions were so nice and I could.
