Nice- I remember when they sank the Spiegel Grove.

Here's me on the Jim Atria, she's in West Palm, I think.



And at deco after that dive:



I was never that into wrecks, though- caves is my thing.

We have a lot of caves and old mines up here in Wisconsin.

The Great Lakes have a bounty of nicely preserved wrecks given the cold waters.

Very cool Swingrrrr!!!!

See, I am just the opposite. I don't like caves, or anything with overhead cover. Seems, diving more and more for work, I forget how much recreational diving is. ARGHHHG, I need to get out there and pound some fish for fun!!

This was me decompressing on the Speigel...bubbles, he,he,he

The current was AWFUL and we were Supermanning off the mooring line.



Name the fish and win a prize!!!!!

Spotlight Parrot?

If you didn't look at the properties of the picture (the name is in there) then...DING, DING, DING!!!!

However, if you did look at the properties...

Actually though it is a Stoplight Parrot...nice job!!!!

Me and my boyfriend:




Ok really:


Just me:



There's another one I wanted to post but it's not entirely safe I think

Stoplight!

I love parrotfish. I only had to do one body recovery. A dive instructor that killed a student because he was a moron. Decoing in caves- you just sit there- no current to fight. Usually. Up in Minnesota I used to dive for old beer bottles- I have some from when they used corks! And irons from when they heated them in fires, and carriage weights. (Those were improvised anchors) People throw anything in the water. Minnesota also had iron mines- they were cool- especially at night when the big fish were out. And there was some deep quarry in Wisconsin I used to teach at- can't remember what it was, though. Hmmm.
