Got to Dive with Scubaboard Dive Guru " NetDoc" and with Jewfish

Pete " Netdoc" showed up and dove Labor Day with us on Splashdown Dive Charters, in Boynton Beach.

The mission was to get up close and personal with the big Jewfish on the amazing wreck of the Castor, in 115 feet of water.
Pete was wearing a rebreather, with which he planned to be able to sneak up on these huge fish, and was a colorful sight to behold
My husband Dan enjoyed diving with Pete....no real discussion occurred, regarding Dan's being banned for life on Scubaboard due to past arguments with the mods...both of them just wanted to enjoy the dives

And the dives were exciting...strong current for the wreck, vis was below average due to storms all over the region. See Pete in this video Dan shot

I first met Pete and Elena several years ago diving out of Boynton Beach and then dived with them again last summer off the Spree . Glad you had good dives, I'll be down on Friday for 2 weeks with the Goliath Grouper. How is aggregation this year?

I got on it on Sunday with my family - My daughter's first certified SCR dive! Too bad we missed Pete!! We were diving with Starfish Enterprise and Adam/Maggie.

Great conditions for us, calm seas with decent vis, light current and 80 degree water. There were probably 7 or so GGs on it many off in the distance. Wilbur was greeting us - the smaller GG right at the line. Another larger male tried to eat a dangling Octo from one of the other divers and then fell in 'love' with her. He was fluttering his fins and making a show for her! His hideaway was in the stern split.

I heard that there were more GGs on the MG11 then the MV Castor this weekend. Hole in the Wall and associated ledges also had a good amount on it last weekend. At the Hole, they were thumping away, I think we were disturbing their courtship.

Thank you for the video. While I am not familiar with the "problem" with the Mods, as far as Dan being banned for life, remember we used to be at war with England, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Vietnam. Now we are mostly pals, so perhaps there will be a peace negotiation and treaty in the future.

I would hope so. Dan was nice enough to loan me his FF for my recent review in the Fins section. I hope he is given another chance to be TOS compliant.

Good diving, Craig

SB is a bit "sterile" without some colourful character!!
Bring him back please.
