Diving on the Humboldt 1-1-11

[HowardE]

Went on a three tanker aboard the Humboldt with Riguerin. We had a blast doing a double dip on the Yukon, followed by a dive on the Ruby E. Thanks to the Humboldt crew (Waterhorse Charters) for making it a great time. But then again... who doesn't like diving off of a 40' Newton.

The water temp was 57 on the Yukon, and about 55-56 on the Ruby E. Visibility was in the 20' range on the Yukon, and a tad bit less on the Ruby E... probably in the 10-15' range.

Here's a few pics.

There's more in my gallery too.

The first shot is great, really like the soft lighting. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the report. I dig the Spanish Shawl photo. It makes the nudie looking like it's leaping off the stalk.

Hey bro, Thanks for helping to usher in the new year with three amazing dives. I was actually really stoked that Capt. Ryan decided to punt on the 3rd kelp dive in lieu of a 2nd Yukon dive. I had an awesome time...let's do it again soon.

Water also seems unusually warm for that spot too.

Toasty temps for the Yukon
My fav is the RubyE with all the strawberry anemone. So where was the toilet? It gets moved around so everytime I've dove it, it's a scavenger hunt.

Water temps are warm compared to the dives Rick, his son Brandon, KathyDee, Lorri and I did on Catalina the Monday before. Glad that Howard was there then since he's just a warm water wuss (tee hee).

This is true.

Must explain why he wears undergarments that look like some kind of thick puffy sleeping bag

I didn't get cold
