Any word?FYI, the dive operator was Aqualife out of Pompano Beach (Hillsborough Inlet). I have been on the boat many times, and it's a safe and well run operation IMO.

The line that connected Gaunt to a dive buoy was found “frayed” when the company retrieved it, Estrada said.
I was out yesterday in the same area, diving off the same coastline yesterday morning 24h ago on Diveboat Diversity. It was not our boat. I have friends who are regulars with Dixie Divers who runs the largest boat in the area. I have sent some messages and waiting to hear back. I'll update the thread if I hear any details. The Coast Guard also updated their tweet 5 hours after the first one that they were going to continue searching overnight.
The topside conditions were quite good, no weather around, 1-2ft seas. Underwater was another story, terrible viz about 30ft (for here) and somewhat of a strong current at times. I wish I didn't have to toe the flag around.I posted a few pics I took on my ig, but nothing great
write a brief report upon returning pleasegoing out with Dixie Divers for the first time this Saturday.
