On the Spree......Capt's Frank & Trish ran excellent boat, as usual. DM's Melanie and Penny did great job line handeling, rigging and excellent site briefs. Team Leaders stayed busy keeping all the divers supplied with air & nitrox. Beverly & Dean overkilled with good food. Seas were less than 3' most of the trip. Visability was excellent. Dives as follows: 2 West bank, 3 East bank, including night dive. Moved to Stetson for two more dives then home.

In addition to all the usual characters, were: Large manta, southern rays, very large shark, believed sand bar. Large nurse shark, about 10', loggerhead turtle. Best of all were the great bunch of divers on the trip. hope to see them again soon. LaCuda and I will be back out on the Spree on the 24th and 25th, weather permitting. Anyone going?

Regards,
