Update on Fitz dive. We can't seem to find a charter operator who will take us out to do our Fits dives. If anyone knows anybody tell them to get in touch with me. I don't want to have to use the dive kayaks. The team has been training very hard with a couple members enduring incredibly lengthy "couch" dives obviously preparing mentally for the long deco. With the Fitz being relatively shallow we have already been talking about a dive to the Titanic. Obviously a very difficult dive due to the expense involved in logistics. But hey, ya gotta have goals. >

I was out at the Fitzgerald this past weekend...A little cold but the wind wasnt too bad..seas were less than 8ft...I guess i was a little pissed off..it took a while to get there and my divers where all very excited..but someone had already removed the buoy.........WTF....a little early dont you think....none of them felt like doing a free ascent and being the dummy that i am..i brought all my gear, but left my aluminum 80 on the dock!..so all i had was my 30cuft pony bottle and my spare air..enough to set the line, but clearly not enough air to penetrate the bridge...i thought about it for a while and decided to bag the dive......bummer.
..and that was alot of fuel... :'(oh well.....i guess there is always next time....
happy diving
