No, I did not ask, I was asking about the blue
marlin they caught and how long it took them to get
out and back.

Many of these guys ( fishing crowd ) have discovered
diving. They are always getting stuff installed at
my fathers boat yards for it, that is how I know
there are so many of them.

These guys are taking those boats all over the place
now with the big speed and giant fuel capacity - it
used to be just the psychos who bladdered them ,
like us, but now they can run on their own fuel ,
and most of those places you can see the bottom in
100 feet of water, so they can't resist diving.

I use the sportfishing charter boats out of Pompano
sometimes for the wreck since they have the best
depth sounders and can actually find things in one
shot, unlike the dive boats. I am not talking the RB
Johnson or the Lowrance which you could find with
landmarks, I am talking about the other 200 plus
targets out here that they don't dive.
