2009 Dive Reports  
   

Saturday, May 16, 2009

Lockness got out to the Yankee Sat. the fog was thick but the Ocean was ok. We had 35 ft. vis. The bottom temp. was 43 getting warmer. Loads of Sea scallop's came up, also a bunch of nice size Lobster's..Rich ( The Dradle ) Burger did his first salt water dive with his new re breather no more King of the Quarry for him...Will leave that for former mate Jamie...M 3 aka Marty shitsbank almost had to be air lifted of the boat he was brutal attacked by a Sea Scallop, but after the panic stopped we put a child's band-aid on it and he stopped crying!!! Andy ( The Recan ) Frovotia came up with a nice brass thing that wood look good in my garbage pail!! We also had Han's and Franz on the boat Han's is the only diver I have seen that shoots Scallop's with a spear gun, You really have to have a steady hand for that!! Now on the way home my Giant ( Big Dave ) apparently decided to show two of my mates how to drink a new type of beer so by the time we got to the dock Abbot and Costello ( Pat Roony and Jeff Panago ) were heavily medicated to say the least they could not figure how to tie the boat up nor could they not stop repeating themselves' over and over again and again the same story.... God I feel bad for Susie Q....We called mini Rooney aka M4 ( Mike shwaner) to take Abbot home Roomer has it he threw up all over his lawn....This is great, dive season has officially begun on the Lockness it time to get out the Video camera it's going to get interesting....This is what North Eastern diving is all about who's got it better then me!!!  

The Legend!!!!!

While I am no legend, I will try my best not to be a "A Jackass". On Saturday 5/23/09 we headed out to the infamous lady "The Oregon" and to everyone's surprised we were actually on the Oregon this time. The infamous About and Costello were to set the hook. A nice Jacket came up from the deep and I found a not so old cookie jar lid. It was the joke of the day. Andy found an old Capt Ken drop weight, it was nice to reminisce about Ken And Jean RIP. The seas were a bit of a chop around 3'. The Ocean Temps were typical around 44 at depth and 50 above 50'. The Viz was nice 25'-30'. There were an extreme amount of ling present on the wreck as well as a few gigantic Black fish. A lot of nice lobster came on board and I missed getting a monster. It was so big I would have taken a photo and released him. I as most of the divers did 2 dives as opposed to one long one. The usual antics started and we passed the time with great food and good laughs. A special thanks to Big Dave, I am now an *official* Beer snob. Until next time as always... Dive Safe!!!
