My buddy and I went out with Jim and Catherine today and let me tell you all. You don't want to go on the boat with them. Nooo, noo. :no Leave that to my friend and I until they work out all the kinks. I think it will be several months. The rest of you just wait till I say its safe.
It actually was a great trip. They didn't drop on baby barge, which was one of the dive sites I had hoped we would hit, so my friend could see his first sharks. Well, we dropped down on the Barge and viz was awesome. We check out the turtles in the cave under the barge and then I took him to the shark cave. We got there and it was great. All three were there, a 4+footer one about 3.5 foot and another about 3 foot. We sat there and watched them for about 7 minutes and then headed back to the barge to explore a little before we came up.
The second dive we hit was the Corsair. Catherine and Jim hit this one first and it was another dive site with nobody on it but us. They came up and had great stories so Ed and I couldn't wait to get down there ourselves. When we got in the water the viz was awesome again, 110-120+. There was a huge ball of small silver bait fish swimming around in addition to the normal schools around the plane. There was no current and we tooks lots of pictures. Catherine took some pictures of a somebody that seems to have been left on that dive for awhile. Hopefully she will post some of those pics and you all can see any of you might know the diver she got pics of.
All in all it was great. They are getting the hang of it quite good.
Thanks again to both of them for a great day out diving.
