The H2O Below has run three trips this week so far. Here ya go...
Tuesday was the Oriskany - The viz continues to be over 100 feet. The seas were great warm and pretty flat. So the good news is that the viz has improved, the better news is - if you have waiting the whole summer for it to clear then the wait was worth it. The water is still a warm 80 degrees and the slight air temp drop is refreshing. You don't dry within seconds and then sweat on the surface interval.
Wednesday - I played hookie and went with a great group of divers to the YDTs. We did the deeper one first (is that 14 or 15?) Anyway, it was really cool to see that the wreck in in tact after the hurricane. No noticible change. I did however note that there was about a thousand sand dollars absolutely everywhere! We found some really cool shells also. The group were all great divers so we had time to really look. We found a larger Cowrie that was dark brown about eight inches long and six inches around. Beautiful!
Thursday was another trip to the Oriskany. I had to work but the report was that the viz was still over 100 ft, the water was still 80 degrees and the seas were two foot. Great day again! Note: the Octopus could not be found today again. The DM looked everywhere for her hiding place but she wasn't available. I think that she knows when I'm not there and hides.
Remember I'm the one with the blue crab! She loves me.
We have trips scheduled for Saturday and Sunday to the Oriskany so if your interested - let's go find an missing Octopus!!!
