Weekend dives with American Diving at SPI

[carlislere]

My son and I had a pretty good weekend at South Padre Island this weekend. We dove with American Diving to the Texas Clipper wreck on Saturday. We had 100 foot visibility, calm seas and no current. Lots of marine life. On Sunday, we dove Little Sara production rig. Same sea conditions as on Saturday. At the end of the second dive we were visited by a whale shark. American Diving's Ron and myself were the only ones still in scuba gear, so we dove with the whale shark and everyone else snorkeled above. My son said it was a great way to end the summer. I have some pics on my FB page, but I will get a couple on here later tonight or tomorrow.

Great story, Ron. It's always better when you can share it with your kid.

I hope to get down to SPI soon and dive the Clipper.

Sounds like fun. I was down there 2 weeks ago. Sharp thermocline at 70 feet. 10 foot viz and a ripping current below it.

I'm jealous!

One of these days I'll see some blue water on top of the Clipper!
