I'm charting a 6 pack boat for some friends next Sunday to do a dive down in San Diego- We're diving a P-38 (WWII plane) in (130 fsw). Then we are going to make a dive or two on the Yukon (its a Canadian Destroyer) in (70-105 fsw) .

Two people backed out so I have two spots open - around 65 bucks I think- I'm not making any money on it. Just going to dive and have fun.

The boat is going no matter if it is full or not, but I thought I might offer some of you a chance to go.
 
Report---
The dive was great- Didnt make out to the p-38 though- We dove twice on the Yucan
I was on my rebreather so dont get all excited about my Run Time

The first dive I almost ran my 400 foot spool out- Went down through the Fan Room by the fake guns---then I went through and visited the Transmition room- Engine Room- Then went back to the Communications room-- Long Deco stop but it was fine. In the Transmition Room I ran into seal-- It scared the crap out of me---

On the second dive I had a company of two divers that were not qualified to penitrate- so we just poked our heads in --maybe a little more but not much---

All in all it was a good day- ---Vis inside was 30 feet/ outside 20-- Temp-- The only people who look at temp are the ones diving wet---
54-56 prob.
 
A seal in the transmission room? I only did penetrations on the rather direct opening in the stern, and a bow swimthrough - what sort of access to the transmission room is there for a seal to find it's way in?
