I'm told the third had some major issues, and put the fear of CCR back into the captain.
Dear Visyca?
What Major issues are you talking about?
I was diving with John Allen yesterday had lengthy conversations and there was no mention of major issues during the previous day's charter even though it was discussed. Where is this stuff coming from? FYI I copied the dive report that was sent out below from Captain Bill.
Tuna Seazure dive report for 12/29/2006
Today brought another day of "what month is it anyway?" diving. We left the
dock with a full boat just before 0800 and headed to the Copper Wreck. We
had a good group of divers on board today that was split about 50/50 between
OC and a mixed bag of CCR divers (Ouroboros, Prism, and some sort of mutated
Inspiration). It's always interesting to get the chance to check out
different units side by side in action on an actual dive.
After the 45 minute run to the wreck, Chris O'donell was kind enough to fish
the hook out of the net we dropped it in and position it on top of the
engine. The water temperature is dropping surely but slowly and I
registered 50F and a max depth of 82fsw. The visibility was quite nice and
I'd give it a conservative 25'. I had the scooter with me so I had fun
buzzing Bill Bedford while he was playing with a lobster. I zipped around
on the wreck stopping here and there to dig some holes. It's quite apparent
that this wreck burned pretty badly as you don't have to move much sand to
get to charred wood and whatnot. I found a couple brass spikes but they
were still solidly attached to the wreck and I didn't bring my tools so they
will have to wait for another day. Towards the end of the dive I took a
peak around and inside the engine and cursed myself for not bringing the
speargun as there were some nice tog within range. The topside weather was
beautiful and the surface interval was spent relaxing and soaking in the
rays of a pleasantly warm December sun. Most did a second dive and
apparently some shenanigans with a monkfish took place. It was another
great day on the Atlantic and if this is the year ender I couldn't have
asked for a better way to bid farewell to another great year of diving, but
I'm still holding out hope for Sunday!
