Sat Night Ledge and 1/2way rock - Daybreaker

[vetdiver]

We did some dives from the Daybreaker on Saturday am - Saturday night Ledge was 1st - about 110 ft, mid-40's below the thermocline, vis pretty nice, 25 ft or more. Beautiful site - this was the first time I've been there, and we really enjoyed it. Down for about 20 minutes or so. Second dive was at halfway rock - we maxed out at about 70 ft, then came up to spend most of the dive around 35-40 ft, same temps and vis. Managed about 50 min before I could no longer feel my fingers.

One cool thing - Fran was not captaining the boat...because he is off on a little trip...to the North Atlantic...to look at a certain wreck which can oly be reached by submersible...called the Titanic. Absolutely AMAZING - I am waiting to see him on the Discovery channel...

Captain Chad Smith is operating Day Breaker in Fran's absence. Technical diver, Unlimited Tonnage Oceans license, and a great guy. Talk about opportunity of a lifetime for Fran!

Chad certainly seemed like a great guy - very easygoing. I thought I heard someone say that he's prepping for a Doria dive???

We'll be back out with them in a few weeks - I think Fran will be back then, hopefully ready to spill the details of his trip.

Yes - he is.
