NJ Scuba Divers Message Board: Tuna Seazure Report 5/29

"Doesn't any one sleep anymore"? I said as I looked at the deck of the Tuna Seazure and saw that I was the last to show for Sat the 29th dives, it was 6.15 AM.
At any rate, I had my gear on board and into my dry suit etc before we cleared the inlet and Capt Bill hit the throttle. We punched a hole into mother Atlantic heading for the Emerald. Most folks jockeyed for a dry place to sit I took a seat in the galley and spent the 20 min ride going over my gear and my dive plan in my mind, preparation for the 1st splash of the morning.

Today I was going move my diving up a notch. I've spent the last 3.5 years diving a 120 and 30 pony bottle accruing a bit over 100 dives the majority off NJ. On this day I brought a 120 for transfer gas, but I had twin/double 85's and the 30 pony mounted in between the horses for today and I hoped for the future as well.

I had spent a few hours in a pool w/the doubles messing w/ weight, hose placement, drills etc in preparation for this day....
