Please report on how conditions are at Wetherill since I plan on going there Sunday with my family for the first time, hopefully to see some tropicals. I was wondering how this storm system has stirred things up.dbg40:Gonna try to do a dive at Wetherell tomorrow I guess. Any advice on what I will find as far as conditions go?
dbg40:Hey John, Yeah, me an Karp went. Got there at slack, LOTS o students, and unfortunately,,boats. Vis was ok, maybe 10' or so went in the right cove and up the left wallto the point where we hit that seemingly constant rip, which worked the hell out of us. Then hooked around the point to come back into the left cove. Vis was about 3' to 0' , had some nut try to run me over with a spear gun closer to the shore exit. I have no idea what he was doing,but whatever it was, he was determined to do it. Saw two little bugs, bunch of taotaug, and 4 little flats. Second dive, went into the right cove, went straight across to the other side, and followed the wall to the beach, saw nothing, vis was not too good, too many boats anchored in the cove whipping giant hooks in every direction, so we called it a day. I havent been there in maybe a year, and was surprised at the lack of life. Odd?
Luis H:You mean like in Sea Hunt? Sounds exciting... you must have been using your double hose.
As I was returning to shore and gently ascending, I ran into 2 nuts with spearguns! I flashed them with my 35 W HID so that they knew there was another diver nearby but don't know if they saw me or not as they had silted up everything so badly that the viz was nill. What a mess these guys were making!dbg40:...........had some nut try to run me over with a spear gun closer to the shore exit.............
