Oriskany Dive - Saturday, March 24th

[The Kraken]

Hi, Guys . . . .

There was a very large dive boat on the Oriskany dive this past Saturday.

Do any of you who were diving know the name of the boat and the operator?

It was a BIG dive boat.

I wasn't there, but the two biggest dive boats I know are the Down Under and the Wet Dream. Here are both of their websites, I hope it helps. http://downunderdiveshop.com/ http://www.scubashackpensacola.com/sdm.asp?pg=wetdream

Down Under
Kyle and I stopped by their shop on Sunday and spoke with them. Nice operation but they have a restriction to 100' for non-tech certified divers on the Big 'O'. Private message me an email address that I can attach some pictures of you.

Kracken... Define what you mean by "BIG dive boat".

does this man 40', 60', 100' or what?


Here's a pic of the Wet Dream that might have been there.

Here's the Down Under.

Was this it?

If so that's the Ocean Explorer. They were advertising they were doing "Liveaboard" oriskany trips in spring 2007.

It's more the size of the bottom one, but I think it was larger and perhaps had a green upper structure.

I haven't personally seen anyone running anything bigger than Down Under's Newton. The H20 Below is a slightly smaller Newton and the Wet Dream is up there in size too. Nothing crazy big though. Course, I try to stear clear of anything with more than 6 seats for divers

Hey, Bug Man . . .
Our ride out was nothing less than BRUTAL ! ! ! !

I stood up all the way out in the early morning chop because I wanted to save my kidneys.

There are many things that go into making a dive an enjoyable one !!!

I'll take a bruised *** over sharing a boat(and a divesite) with 20 other people anyday though
