So 2018 has not been a bad year. I had started a thread many years ago on diving Passamaquoddy Bay in Maine and New Brunswich. This year in April, I got to do that dive with macro photography legend, Andy Martinez. For those of you who love macro and don't mind cold water, this dive is a must.
Also got to dive the wreck of John Morgan off of Virginia Beach. I was impressed beyond words. There are not a lot of places where you will see an armed transport fully loaded with tanks and planes, sitting at the bottom. People go to Truuk lagoon for that! If you are on the east coast and this wreck has slipped off of your radar then be sure to make it your stop and hit me up. Best time to dive would be September onward.
Plans for 2019: Here is what is in plan for next year. If any of this falls in your neighborhood or if anyone would like to join in then let me know.
a) I will be finishing my UTD Tech 1 dives in Pampano Beach. Date is to be finalized but it will be after March. Id like to stay in the area a little after the course and do a few more tech dives. If anyone had any ideas or suggestions then shoot!
b) Technical dive charter in NC. Possible wrecks can be Manuela, Naeco and Atlas Tanker. Six people are needed. May is the more realistic time frame but anytime after that is good too. Let me know who would like to join in. 6 peeps only!
c). A Great Lakes trip is long over due. Looking to book a few days on Lake Erie with Osprey. I am open date and time wise so let me know who is in and when.
I was also hoping to meet Abnfrog for ice diving. March seems very unlikely but those who end up joining him please post some pictures or videos and have fun.
