Well, for the first time the Moosessess had to cancel a dive trip. They just did not have enough divers to be able to financially make sense to go. One of the hardest things, and most important things to do is advertise. The question though, is where? If anyone has any ideas please email them to me @ Captaintim@diveboat.com I do not have any ideas at this time.
Enough crying. Diving has been great, weather iffy. But we have been able to just sneak in under the weather and get in some fine diving. We were at Farnsworth Banks last weekend and it was very nice as several divers that had never made it out got to go in a check it out. I wish I had a mic when they came out of the water, so you could hear their comments on the dive. Ken from Reefseekers took some great pics. (Go to the calendar page and click on Reefseekers and follow it to the pic page of last weekend). You might want to check out the whole page, as he his an accomplished photo person, just don’t tell him I said something nice about him, it might (Will) go to his head.
The squid’s eggs are still everywhere and still attracting many fishes and bugs. The bugs are deep, but for those that can dive to the depth required, they are limiting on one dive. No huge bugs, but nice and legal. One of DM’s from Sport Chalet speared a nice Halibut a couple of weeks ago. Unheard of this time of year. Hopefully this is just the start of interesting things attracted to the eggs. Time will tell

Until next time………….
