After a beautiful day of diving on Saturday with Gary's Gulf Diver, I had an invitation to join a good friend of mine on his boat, The Tank! JT bought this boat only a few months ago and this was it's maiden voyage for diving. With Capt Richard at the helm, we loaded up for a spearfishing trip out in the Gulf.
The water was perfect, slick as a baby's butt! We first dove the Wallace. There were a number of darn pole fisherman in the way and we had zero vis, so we decided to cut it short and move to the next site.
The second site was totally different. We went to the Perdido Bay Bridge Rubble. It was cool. Also had two boats full of non-diving, pole holding, monofilament using @#^#$%^ on it. I waved sweetly
and jumped in with my speargun. Why don't they ever wave back?????
JT and I had a good dive, the vis was 30 ft. but there was a ton of little red snapper. JT was over the edge and sticking his head in a hole looking at something. Turned out it was a huge black snapper. I figured whatever, and started blasting away at trigger fish, a red snapper and a black snapper. JT finally got out of the hole and we made several more passes. We were in about 90 feet of water and it was a little chilly at the bottom but we were fine. On the way up, I saw JT take the bands off his gun for safety, so I took mine off also. About that time a huge Red Snapper decided he wanted to see what we were. :11: JT and I both started loading guns again as fast as we could. I got mine first but the wise old snapper was smarter than the two of us and he
'ed at us, turned his pretty little red :mooner: to us and swam off, the victor! Aargh!
All in all, it was an amazing weekend of diving.

I chilled at the beach today, snorkeled a bit, but no diving
