Today was a day that dreams are made of.
Went diving with Bruno's again and it just gets better and better. The weather is really holding out this year. It was in the mid 70's and the lake was flat! Doesn't feel like mid-October at all. Today there were students on board, some canadian divers, and a lot of fun divers. Met a new buddy in the process and he turned out to be a treat. AND he ate a ton of my blueberry muffins. Gotta love a guy you can buy with food.
He was cool, a good diver AND he looks sneaky.
First dive was on the Charles S Price. A 500ft upside-down freighter complete with a swim-thru. 75 ft deep and a balmy 60degrees. Fantastic. We tooled around the gigantic prop, ducked into the swim-thru, and took a leisurely swim about 150 ft toward the bow. Its torn open quite a bit so, plenty to see. The students had a check out dive on this one.
So, here's the tank deal. I had 2 Steel 80's and 1 Steel 100. After deliberating what sites to do... I used a 80 the first dive, my 100 the 2nd and 3rd, and a 80 on the 4th.
The 2nd dive was also the Price so, Phil and I took a leisurely stroll to the bow and back. Took a side jaunt to the swim-thru then, came up. It was lovely.
On the way to the Stern...
And here you can see us coming up to the prop
I had Phil take this to show how freak'n huge the prop is. And I look good in a wetsuit.
Inside the swim thru.
Here's a couple towards the bow.
This one is cool as it shows the impact of the boat when it sank. The bottom is the boat.
At the beginning of the 2nd dive, my camera flooded just a little but, that was it for pics.
The 3rd dive was the Sport. An oldie but a goodie. 45 ft deep and also in the 60's. The students finished their OW dives. I used the 2nd 1/2 of my 100 so, just took a nice stroll around and came up. Great vis but, not as good as Price.
The last and 4TH DIVE of the day was The North Star. 95ft and definately in the mid to high 50's. Creepy green foggy vis but, an awesome dive. This was my first time on it and I plan to do it again. Was hard to see the different parts from the creepy green vis but, found our way around and loved it! I need to get a map of that one.
Thanx to the crew for letting us squeeze in 4 dives! They are a fun crew.
Getting us to the dive sites safely and efficiently....Capt'n Paul.
And the other guys.... Happy Crew makes Happy Divers.
