Trip Report - 7/25/05. LA Oil Rigs

[paulwall]

Wow, those are some costly charters. I need to hook up with my old room mate and see if he still has his boat. He's scuba certified too, so I know he would love to go out if he still has the boat. If I find anything out I'll let you know, mabe you could join us if you have time. Im sure we will do some fishing while on our SI. He also only charges for the cost of bait, ice, and fuel, so if 4 of us go it will only cost about $40-$60 a person.

Sounds like a plan, but I'm a FWW (flat water wimp). I like stable boats and 3' max seas.
This trip was nearly perfect: Good weather, no surface current to fight and beautiful vis through the column. The only downside was the current on the dive. Oh, well, you can't have everything.

The only dive shop running trips out of Venice is Harry's (The oldest shop in New Orleans). The Scuba Co. books out of Pascagoula, and Adventure Quest and Caribbean say they can book these trips, but really don't.

SNIP...

Hey Paul, did you ever receive the video from that trip in the mail? If not, let me know.

Yes, I did. It looked great! Thanks for sending that out. It wouldn't play in my PC, but worked great on my DVD/TV.
