Sat. June 7th, the OTHER dive report & photos

[notabob]

Well, this is a couple days late, but I've been kinda busy... While PK and her friend were enjoying the near caribbean-like visibility up at Cape Ann, Devils_Advocate, Doder, & myself hit Ft.Wetherill. Did two dives, both in the left cove. First the left wall, then the right. Visibility was average, about 8-10ft. Saw flounder, scates, a couple of small lobster, some nice anemonies, and even a pair of squid on the 2nd dive! And tons of starfish everywhere. I forgot to bring the camera with me on the 1st dive, but did grab it for the 2nd. The photos are at the link below:

It did start raining while we were under for our 2nd dive, but it wasn't too bad, and pints of Guinness & some good food made the rain much easier to live with

Saturday was definitely fun! The start of the first dive for me was a little rough; I was having difficulty with my hood. The damn thing was just too big and was allowing air bubbles from the regulator to get into it, etc. . .We still ended up doing a nice dive.

The seconde dive was a lot better for me. That is until I got tangled in D_A's damn flag line at the end!

notabob is definitely a great navigator! And is correct about the guiness!

Thanks for sharing them. Glad you saw so many different kinds of sealife. What was the water temp and depth?

Anyway, I'm glad you are such a good navigator. I dove there once with Rax and he navigated us towards the open ocean when he thought we were going back to shore. Oops, I forgot I wasn't supposed to tell a living soul about that...

Hehehe... Poor Rax. Let's see... Can't remember the exact numbers, but on the 1st dive (left cove, left wall) we hit about 40ft, although if you go out a bit further there is a vertical drop-off down to about 80-85. 2nd dive (left cove, right wall) we hit close to 40 once again, if I remember right. You can get deeper if you go further out. Devils_Advocate and I hit ~60 there the next day. On Sat., though, we turned the dive early because we hit some current that started carrying us out to sea much faster than I would've preferred. Thankfully the current was gone the next day. Temps were about 56 on the surface, and about 54 at depth.
