Well, I guess some things are never meant to last forever. And as “Old Rafiki” said, change is good. I do wonder, though, who will ever trust SC again?
For those that have not heard, SC on a hard ball play cancelled my boat and the “Bottom Scratcher”. They wanted to take an over we could not except. And with being said off to better and better things. Also back to my roots with open boats and the customers that I used to have that refused to deal with SC.
Now to diving….
First off every time we get the chance I will have a live cam on the boat. And am looking for an underwater camera for this also. You can check this out front the front page of my web site. It will expand as we get better at it. Also if anyone can help out with this I can use all the help I can get.
Today’s trip was the last one with SC. We went to Indian Rock and had two very nice dives there. Vis was around 50 feet, and the temp. was around 60 degrees.
We then moved to Big Gieger and vis was again very good, and temp. around the same.
We now have 17 more open boats, and they can be purchased by shops, clubs or manufactures. California Dive Company has picked up 4 trips for this year, and 5 of 6 more for next year. The calendar will soon reflect these changes.

Until next time………………
