Bill and Deb run a really nice operation. I'd recommend them to anyone. Been on the boat 4 or 5 times so far and will be there again!

Can someone send me the information for the boat mentioned in the post. I am going to visit the parents in NH and want to do an Isle of Shoals dive. I grew up in New England and have yet to do it!!!! Thanks

This is from their website indicating that at least some part of Isle of Shoals is for 'experienced' divers.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Seal Cove and Mingo Rock [/FONT]

• [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Location: Southeast side of Duck Island. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Special Features: In the spring and early summer, seals visit the area. They sunbathe on the rocks and occasionally swim with divers. (The Marine Mammal Protection Act prohibits anyone from approaching seals.) [/FONT]
• [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hazards: Lobster boats. Do not leave boat unattended. The area was once a military target range, and divers have found unexploded shells in the area. This dive is recommended for experienced divers. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Depth: To 40' in Seal Cove, to 90' around Mingo Rock. [/FONT]

Can someone with 'experience' there please tell me what they might mean by that?
Is it a 5 ft viz, racing current , uxb, racing lobster boat kind of dive??
Thanks
