Remarks

The boat was set up so that we dropped into the water, and followed some lines to the anchor. The viz was not very good.

I wasn't impressed with the broken boat (there's a suprise). We did see some nice sand tiger sharks. I took some pictures, but I don't think they are going to come out very well, because it was so cloudy and the sharks stayed a little bit off of us.

I was using a new Oceanic ProPlus. It dind't break, so that was good. I like this computer, but I don't trust it to work consistantly.

I liked the way the boat had lines in the water for us to use. They had an anchor line going from the boat to the wreck. Also, on each side of the boat there was a line at 15 feet. This line was used to get us to the anchor line when we first went in, and for the safey stop.

Mark found a shark's tooth. Before doing this dive I was under the imprssion that it would be real easy to get lots of teeth. The only place I saw lots of teeth was in the sharks mouth.

One of the guys wanted to go spear fishing. The crew told him not, becuase of the sharks. Fucking idiot.

Notes on Morehead city:

There are two big putt-putt courses. they are both crowded. I played one. It was pretty nice.

There are no restraunts worth mentioning.
