We finished a boat dive a 120 yards off of town neck beach and were relaxing on the boat post dive anchored around noon time yesterday. We were watching two other divers from shore with a flag swim past our boat and then they went past us about another 40 yards. A 21 foot center console with a bunch of kids (early 20's) was heading directly at them at estimated 30 knots. I had to blast my horn at least a dozen times to get there attention and for them slow down and turn away. I am really starting to think dive flags don't mean crap other than giving a false sense of security.
Anyhow, our dive was nice with 20' visibility. Saw some skates, flounder, a little eel (6 inches maybe) that was striped brown and white (need to hit the books to identify it), a bunch of cunner, and picked up a couple of lobster. Max depth was 22' with coldest temperature of 56 deg. F. Didn't see any striped bass which was kind of a surprise.
