I've seen one a few times off of golden beach that usually has a small goliath living in it. Last time I saw it was about two years ago so it could have easily moved. The tread part of the tire was about three feet wide.

Hoping to go out Friday or Saturday... any word on the viz?
Also, I haven't been north of the pier in a time... know that there has been some good mammal finds in past... anyone tried directly north of pier/Sharky's in a time?

Thank you in advance for any post/reply...

Hey Dive4LifeSW. I had hoped to get a dive in this morning, before the front comes through. Unfortunately the winds have already turned & the water looks like soup. Don't know if it'll clear by the weekend. sorry

Rick, It would be helpful if you included where you were diving (Alhambra, Service club, Brohard, Boneyard) and water depth. Viz has been VERY variable depending on location and depth. Claiming 6-8 foot viz without location and depth can be very misleading to someone planning a beach dive.

I run a charter service from my boat. My report contains the same information as the Aristacat or Florida West would post. Notice "vis: 3-4' in some areas." That was in 17 ft of water. I put that in there so as not to be misleading about our viz. Please understand as a charter service I would like to keep my location somewhat discrete as this is how I earn a living..

Thanks, Capt Rick..

Rick, no one is interested in "stealing" your sites. Unless your boat has a cloaking system, anyone with a compass and a good pair of binoculars can triangulate your position. The purpose of this forum is to primariliy aid beach divers, not promote your business. If you're going to post reports without locations or water depth maybe they should be considered exagerated advertising rather than facts. You would not be the first charter captain to post the same great reports and spectacular pictures over and over again just to get customers on your boat. I was mearly pointing out that adding position or depth would be helpful. Aristocat and Florida West not only have boats that are easily identifiable but both almost exclusively hunt the boneyard in 25-30 fsw.....no mystery there.

Is this "cloaking system" like the Philadelphia Experiment or Star Trek? LOL
