SEA LION

 Well the Winter is officially over and the charter season has begun. Traditionally early season trips tend to be a bit under-subscribed and both Kevin and the “No Gills” bunch on Saturday to the Mohawk and Lakeland Divers on Sunday to the Brunette have a few spots left. Although it was kind of nice to have a few weeks off I’m anxious to get back out there. If you’ve taken a look at the 2012 schedule on the web site you’ve seen The Atlantic City trip is coming up in a very few weeks and Gene Peterson of Atlantic Divers reports that all of his charters out of AC are all at least 50% full and filling fast, if you want to get in on some great diving now is the time to either give me or Gene a call. As you can see from the schedule below this will be three weeks of fantastic diving with not only dives leaving out of Atlantic City but two days of diving out of Cape May to the City of Athens. We also have a few “projects” in the works  and more than a few of the OPEN days will be filled with… well if I told you it wouldn’t be a surprise but you’re welcome to come along and participate in what promises to be some exciting, fun diving.

Atlantic City 2012

THIS WEEK

Wednesday the 2nd– OPEN - 0800 departure – Captain’s choice less than 100’ – Although I’m certainly open to suggestions I have a spot or two in mind that I’d like to put a diver or two on but again destinations are subject to change based on the desires of those on-board.

Saturday the 5th – No Gills Charter – Mohawk 80’ – Kevin Abbott and the “No Gills” dive club has me chartered to the Mohawk. Kevin can be reached at 609-352-5983. As always the Mohawk has something for everyone and although Sea Bass and Taug are closed both Winter and Summer flounder (Fluke) will be open and of course lobster.

Sunday the 6th – Lakeland Charter – Brunette 80’ – Lakeland Divers is starting their charter season off with a trip to the Brunette. The Brunette was an iron hulled steamer carrying general cargo that collided with the Santiago DeCuba just about three miles out of Manasquan. She’s also been known as the “Doorknob Wreck” due to the large number of marble doorknobs that have been found on the wreck. Lakeland can be reached at 973-887-0194.

NOTE: One thing to keep in mind is that OPEN destinations are really just suggestions on my part, unless the trip is scheduled as a “Special” but If you have somewhere you want to get to let me know and if we have the divers and the weather that’s where we’ll head.

NEXT WEEK

Saturday the 12th  – OPEN - 0800 departure – Captain’s choice less than 130’

Sunday the 13th – OPEN - 0800 departure – Captain’s choice less than 130’
