Pirate King II dive report 7/24 - Sea Hag

[phillybob]

booked thru lbi scuba, we were out to the sea hag on a beaut of a day. at the wreck there was a slight surface current but that would calm to zero. seas 1-2'. surface viz. was incredible! the bottle could be seen coming up at 50'. and the water color wasn't the jersey green, but a clear blue. bottom viz was 20' and temp was 52. zero surge. sea hag is a wooden ship almost upright with the gunwales rising about 10'. jim r. bagged a 8 lb. bug. many fish faced the firing squad. i'm starting to get the hang of my new camera and strobe set-up.

the pirate king is one of the nicer, roomier boats around. and capt. rob is a pretty cool guy. also the parking at barnegat light is much easier than belmar. check it out! you can see some of my pics from the trip on http://wreckvalley.com/ in the "photo gallery" under Sea Hag.

PhillyBob, I need more soda. I'm coming off the sugar high.
Send more Frank's Black Cherry ASAP.
Nice PICS by the way.

i advise snorting sugar to keep you tweaking till the 10th. thats' when i'm going out next. hopefully i'll hook up with a few cases by then. the pics did come out nicer than i expected. hope that means i'm getting better.
