Is anyone still doing this dive? I'm not a definite but a probably...i think i freed up some time in my evening schedule....i'll have to see how work goes this afternoon though.....

 

[NitroRoo]

I'm still hoping to... although my wife was giving me grief about it this am... I can probably make it if some other people are going to show up.

 

[NitroRoo]

alright... just got the official "ok" from central command. I will be at the parking lot by 5:30, splashdown by 6. Hope you can make it!

Well guys I'm sorry I missed the dive. Hope you had a good one. Please give a report. Hopefully we can do it again soon and I can make that one.

I showed up around 5:45 and NitroRoo (Reuben) was the only other who could make it out today. It was a good dive.....very shallow so you can stay there forever.....I had a steel LP108 and had about half of my air left after close to an hour dive. Anyway the swim out was fine, once out there visibility was probably 10-12 ft maybe. I'm not a good judge of that stuff, but anyway it was good enough to see stuff. It turned out being a lot better dive then i had expected. Quite a few fish out there, a good number of different crabs, and even though the overall plant and coral varieties were limited, there was still plenty to look at. I also saw some large yellow seahorses....those were pretty interesting, however when i looked for Reuben to show him he was no where around. There was quite a bit of current out there today though, but it was still a good dive. I hope more people can make it out next time, I would like to meet everyone.

Yeah thanks for coming out Gregg!

We had a good dive... other than not being able find eachother for about 15 minutes (we each surfaced a few times but kept missing eachother: :yl2jump. Saw lots of fish out there today, visibility was maybe 10ft at best (making it hard to keep together), but overall good enough to see some things. Wish I could have seen the seahorses but we did see plenty of other fish. Saw a new agelfish I've never seen before, a few sheepshead, and lots of other smaller fish. There was a bit of current, and quite a bit of surge today. The swim back in on the surface took forever, but it was worth it and I'd definitely do it again!

Sounds like you guys had a grat dive. I ended up working a little late. Late enough to make the trip a wash for me. I hope to get out there with you guys another time.
