Greetings all,
Just an update on EXPLORER: We did a crew training/diving/fun day on Sunday and EXPLORER is ready for diving. Best part of Sunday would be a tie between Kate's excellent home-made chow and a 20 minute dive with of a pair of large (16") squid that I followed and watched while they carefully worked thru the seaweed looking for whatever squid eat. Never saw that before, wicked cool to watch. Had a great day.
In any case, I've decided to leave July 3rd and 4th (Monday and Tuesday) as open boat days, with a plan to dive the U-Boat each day. If anyone is interested they can call Pier Dive and sign up. With only 6 spots open this ought to fill fast.
We also have a few spaces open this weekend to ??? (someplace mellow) and anyone wanting to join in should call Pier Dive (401) 783-2225 and sign up. Unfortunately I will not be on the trip myself due to prior comittments, but Capt Eddie will run the boat and you can listen to him tell about the last 8 months he spent aboard a research ship in Antarctica as you eat Kate's chow and off-gas between dives. Only snag is that our dressing benches and tank racks will still not be aboard, but we'll suffer thru and have a great weekend anyhow. Join us! Anyone is welcome to call me directly with questions but Pier Dive will handle the roster.
Last thought: I'd be interested in running a Scubaboard "Shark Dive Social" if anyone would be interested. I'd like to offer it exclusively to New England list members here as a way to get together, put faces to names, and have a nice day on the water swimming with sharks (assuming that they cooperate). Thinking mid-late July. Let me know directly if interested.
Best to all,
