[I Dive]

I have a nice mid-handle Riffe I'd loan.... lemme know...

Or.... lemme ask Ty... are these sites in Federal waters? Where its ok to spear on rebreathers....?

I knew that I didn't know much about rebreathers or spearing, but I guess I know less than I thought. You can't spear on a RB? What's the deal, they think it's unfair to the fish that you can stay down that long while you hunt them?

It has more to do with the no-bubbles.... you can usually get really close.... so I can understand unfair advantage there... It's illegal in Florida waters..., in Federal its ok, I'll have to validate the same for the Gulf...

Lobsters, being so curious, I actually think it's no advantage... I mean, lobsters are either in the hole or not.... and when they hear bubbles, they come out further... it isn't until you touch them that they get spooked....

Or when they see you coming. Watching you chase lobsters is usually good for 10 minutes worth of good comedy humor post-dive

Soon there will be blood spilled in the water - I foresee lots of death to fishes

Or a bunch of divesicles created... Anyone not diving dry this weekend is going to freeze!

The Sheridan / Blackthorn site is in Federal waters. That's 9km on the Gulf side.

Updated first post with meet time for those going out with Captain Ty. Will post meet time for Captain Mike's boat as soon as I hear back from him.

Sounds like the hot water hose may have a higher value than the beanbags on this trip!

Note to self: Make sure hot water heater is in good working order - It's too cold to have to walk the plank in me bloomers....

That is the most wonderful feeling...
