I think you two are about the same age, but remember age is a state of
mind... Which makes me about 18, woo woo!

>> Hi all
>> Went to Morehead City, NC to dive for my birthday this past
>> weekend. Several friends joined me to dive the wrecks Schurz
>> depth 110ft and Papoose 130ft. We dived on the dive boat
>> "Diver Down" with Capt. Bobby Cox www.diverdownscubadiving.
>> <http://www.diverdownscubadiving.com/> com
>> <http://www.diverdownscubadiving.com/> .....
>> On Saturday seas were a bit rough 4-5 ft, but that did not
>> stop us from our goal of diving the Schurz a German built
>> gunboat that sunk in 1918 after a collision with the SS
>> Florida that sits 25 plus miles out.
>> When I scootered down to the wreck it was plain to see that
>> the wreck was covered with bait fish, during periods of the
>> dive I could not see the wreck or determine where I was even
>> as the vis was 60 ft and water temp 68 top- bottom. I found
>> it best to move around the wreck by scootering above the
>> bait fish and then going down into them where I wanted to

>> who like to spearfish the grouper are big this time of year
>> and still very dumb. But this won't last long and I'd go
>> again this month if that were my goal. I did a 60 min BT on
>> 30% nitrox mix w/ 02 for deco and  used 1300psi out of my 95
>> doubles. The dive was very relaxing for me, I had my
>> gearline hung over the side and deployed my jonline for
>> decoing. One poor guy forgot his jonline and had no gearline
>> and I watched him get the shit kicked out of him on the
>> anchor line by the boat going up and down. His arms are now
>> 6 inches longer;-)).
>> On Sunday we dived the Papoose 130ft a Tanker that was sunk
>> by the U-124 in 1942. Once again vis was 60ft and the temp
>> now 70 top-bottom with seas only 3 ft. Lots of large
>> sandtiger sharks were on the wreck and I had plan to
>> spearfish for grouper while using my scooter to hunt. LOTS
>> of very large grouper were on the wreck, I had speared my
>> first one in 5 mins into the dive, a 6- 8 lb one. I had to
>> fight off a 6 ft shark to keep him and it was plain that the
>> sharks were hungry.
>> The wreck is turtled, but can be penetrated very easily (I
>> do not recommend this without training). I have never hunted
>> grouper before and was very surprised at how strong they are
>> and go crazy trying to throw the spearshaft.
>> I was caught off guard by one as I shot him (very large one)
>> and he went into the wreck pulling me against the hole he
>> went in and taking my gun with him. I used my light to see
>> he had threw the shaft and the gun lay in the wreck. I also
>> could see a larger place to enter and went there to go in
>> and get my gun. I did this without any problems and took
>> time to explore  the inside, I saw nothing worth staying in
>> there for and went back to hunting. The score for the dive
>> by me was grouper 6 / JT one. I did 50 mins BT , max depth
>> 124ft , I used more gas on that dive as hunting causes you
>> to breath more. (1600psi) You can see photos of the trip on
>> my site in the photo gallery page http://www.capt-jt.com/
>> 
>> Hope you enjoy
