South Padre Island Clipper

[scubergoober]

:14: Hello all,
I'm interested in heading down to South Padre Island during Halloween weekend for the South Padre International Music Festival and because the weather is so perfect during that time. South Padre just sunk the Clipper last year and I'm curious if anyone has heard anything about it. Has anyone gone or know of anyone who has? What is it like?

Thanks for your help!

Haven't been to see it, but...while you are there~

Check out Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle Rescue and visit with my dive travel buddy, Mary!


She dives with Timmy over at Amercan Divers and they do The Clipper.

American diving is a good outfit. Tried to dive the Clipper over the X-mas holidays with them, but the weather didn't cooperate.

Have Fun!

I'm supposed to dive the Clipper this Saturday for the first time. The seas are marginal, but if the trip makes I'll report back.

I've got a trip scheduled for May 17. I'm sure we'll be doing more throughout the year.

I was on the first public charter back in November, 2 days after the sinking. Viz was about 15 to 20 feet because the water was still stirred up. It's on it's side, actually about 10 degrees hull up. It's a good dive but takes a little extra attention to get oriented and penetration would be more difficult.

I'm supposed to be on it next weekend, weather permitting. I'm going out on a six pack with Deep Six.

I am looking to go out there around the end of June. I really haven't heard much about it except from American Diving website. I am interested in what everyone has to say about it.

Mid May for a few of us from north Texas!

Please let me know what you think of Deep Six. I ran across their website and was curious what they were like. What are they charging you?

thanks
