ScubaDrew at the Carthaginian

[MauiScubaSteve]

Had the extreme pleasure of surprising ScubaDrew when he showed up to check-in for the Extended Horizon's Thursday afternoon Carthaginian charter, as I was tagging along for a look-see the whole day.

Since Drew was doing his own thing and I had already shadowed the Lanai dives earlier, I was allowed to accompany Drew with my camera on the afternoon dives. We were supplied with ~35% EAN but still managed to gauge 98' as the sea bottom at both bow and stern. There was only one group of divers with the EH guide (pink wings) and we splashed well ahead of them, so we had the ship to ourselves for quite a while.

Shortly after they joined us the Atlantis sub made it's passes on the wreck. It went on the starboard side of the Carthaginian this time, which was a nice photo change from my previous Carthaginian adventure.

Drew entertained me with his famous bubble rings during our SS as the other divers ascended the line below us. I am still not completely unpacked on the West Side, so these photo's are just minimally processed on my laptop.

It was really cool that we hooked up for this dive even though we didn't really plan to. I'm sure Drew will join us with some video as soon as his family visit allows.

A dive I've never done. I'm working on changing that since I'm certainly not in love with the keys.

did you catch the resident frog fish?

If you look at the last wreck picture above (#4), and look closely at the top of the line floating up from the stern railing; hooop, dere't is!
