 We
couldn't have asked for a better day. Hot & sunny, nice spacious boat
with a great sense of humor and even a good collection of music on board
so we were able to save our voices and our special rendition of Lola for
another day. I believe we did a fair job with the Theme of Gilligan's
Isle though.
Our first stop was the Emperor of the Sea. The
visibility was excellent - at least 50-60 feet and the water temperature
still in the 80's. There was plenty of room for everyone to head off in
a different direction and explore the holds of the ship or the area
around it. Each dive team came back with stories of what they saw and
how great the dive was. Photo on the Emperor of the
Sea by Gary Wood. |
The second dive was a drift along a very nice ledge/ridge called
Sanctuary. The hunters headed off in the direction that had
the most promise for lobster and other delightful creatures of the sea -
and just a few came back with some keepable bugs and fish. Some
members of the group spotted a 14 foot Hammerhead Shark and the rest of
us were happy we didn't see it since we did end up hanging around a
while waiting for our pick-up.
