This Week

Saturday the 23rd – Tridents – lobsters and fish 100> - The Tridents will again be back this year with their unique brand of diving. Actually they have quite a number of Saturday dives throughout the year. On the 23rd unlike their usual trips where we’re tied in for only one and we do “buoy dives” for the rest of the day we will be tied in for two and more than likely only do one drop on the way in. Seems that this early season dive is under-subscribed and they’re willing to compromise and stay tied in for two. If you ever wanted to watch how they come back loaded with fish and lobsters this would be the trip to sign up for. Bret can be reached at 973-876-5896

Sunday the 24th – OPEN – Captain’s choice less than 100’ – Fish, lobsters, artifacts, choice of destination will be based on the interests of the divers on-board. As with any OPEN contact me directly at either 973-887-3337 or my cell 201-01-4608

Next Week

Wednesday the 27th – Atlantic Divers – Stolt 130’ - Visibility is usually good, sometimes good enough to see the top of the wreck from the surface and the sight of this huge wreck when it first looms into view as you descend the anchor line is extraordinary. There is something awesome about this shipwreck that is somehow lacking in the nearby planned artificial reefs. Gene at Atlantic Divers can be reached at 609-641-7722 for space aboard this trip.

Saturday the 30th – OPEN – Maurice Tracy 65’ – The Tracy is a fun dive. This 253’ collier (coal carrier) was sunk in a collision with the much larger 441’ Liberty Ship Jesse Billingsley June 17th 1944. Although most of the recognizable wreckage lays behind the two massive boilers a number of scattered pieces lie between the boilers and the bow. Unfortunately the pieces are separated sufficiently to make navigating them difficult without a reel. I’ve always found the pick-up stick like pile behind the boilers fascinating as the engine and engine room lies hidden beneath it.

Sunday the 1st – Lakeland Divers – Stolt 130’ – If you couldn’t get away and dive the Stolt this past Wednesday Lakeland Divers can give you another chance at diving this great wreck on Sunday. Lakeland can be reached at 973-887-0194, departure will 0600.

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.

ATTENTION
The full 2012 SEA LION charter schedule is posted on the web site www.atlantic-wreckdivers.com

The Sea Lion does run a limited weekday schedule and we’re always looking to put together weekday trips. If you’re interested in diving during the week, let me know which day/days work for you and we will try to put a boat together.

We have established a diver’s e-mail list and if you’d like to be included send the message “please add me to the SEA LION diver list” to sealion@atlantic-wreckdivers.com
