Remember when in PCB

[DEC0]

the converted crew boats proved to be great for dive boats because the aluminum hull is tough against bangs and dents from the tanks being slung around. And the drop isn't bad. I personally think its a fun entry. haha

Change is a good thing, for the most part and with the restrictive fishing regulations going into effect this next year or so (especially if sector separation happens) there will be plenty of good sized fish within 5 miles. I've only been diving in Panama City for 18 years now but AJs are pretty generally small on anything in less than 120'. We took a 40" AJ off span 14 last week but fish like that are the exception and (as far as I can remember) always have been. The disappearance of grouper is fairly alarming though.

How bout ong the way back when Bill Tant (Capt SCUBA) was taking divers out on the Amberjack? Anyone been around long enough to remember that? Way before my time! My hats off to all the diving pioneers and stewards we have had to establish and Keep such a strong diving culture going here in my hometown.

I was towed in by Bill and the Amberjack one time.

Remember when Chuck Gigli had the My Ship docked at the Panama City Marina and a Diver's Den on site at the marina. The shop's contents ended up washed into the harbor by Hurricane Opal. I remember doing giant strides off the side of the My Ship, which seemed to be about eight feet above the waterline. I swear you could hear the wind whistling past your ears as you were falling. I also remember Chuck's old gas staion warehouse in Parker and the smell of the Stone paper mill on the way there.
