My good buddy Earl was nice enough to take Matt, Ed, Brian and I out today to dive the P.T. Teti and then a second dive on the Gooseberry Arches. Both dives were fantastic. The seas were also pretty flat until the end of the day.
On the Teti the temp at 100 ft was about 47 degrees and the vis was around 20 ft. We dove in a couple of seperate teams on this dive with Brian and I going second. This was also Brian's first NE Wreck dive, and the Teti seemed like a nice choice for it. It is an easy dive on a sandy bottom with typically decent vis, and usually not much in the way of a current. It is also a relatively small perfectly upright and intact wreck so it is very easy to navigate. Classic Hollywood wreck. I am sure Ed will post video later. I took some shots, but the only one worth noting is this one of a Pout:
For dive two we hit the Gooseberry Arches (batteries were low so I skipped the camera on dive 2). Plenty of tautog and the vis was generally around 20 ft though it places dropped closer to 10. Water temp was 53 at the bottom. The last time we went we didn't know where the arches were and missed them, this time half of us found it (Ed, Brian and I all saw it, Earl and Matt weren't as lucky but now they at least know where to look for next time).
Hope the rest of you got to take advantage of the awesome conditions today!
