Oriskany - Another beautiful day!

[seadoggirl]

Saturday October 13, 2007 was a beautiful day on board the H2O Below sitting atop the Oriskany. The weather was clear and bright, the sun was shining and the Jelly fish are GONE! :14:

The temp at the surface is still a perfect 82 and on the flight deck it is 79. The vis is some of the best we have had all year at 100 feet. It was a great day with our new friends from Houston Texas who dive with the Sea Sports Scuba shops. Their instructor Rob was great fun as were the four dive masters in training that they brought with them this time. We were lucky enough to have the Clarks from this group back for the third time and look forward to seeing them again.

It was a great trip. The current was minimal on top and not bad at all on the bottom. The Octopus are back in their holes and growing bigger by the day. One of the tech divers saw some huge grouper at about 165 feet. To deep for my whimpy butt!

All in all it was great weather, great diving and great people! Come see us, the water is wonderful!

Im Jealous, The Island Diver got blown out on Sunday so I never got to the O. Maybe I need to go with a boat that actually runs in some seas next time.

Glad you had a good dive and did not get blown out.

I know the Down Under crew relatively well, and I have never heard of the Island Diver.
