So, as those of you watching the ReefCam and top-side cams yesterday might have noticed, I finally got to go in for a dive with Martin (his 600th!!!) and Seb yesterday afternoon.

It had started out as Martin and I, but then Seb decided he would join us and he had to go back to the house he was renting to get his gear (that delay which is why some of you saw many shots of me on North BeachCam and BeachBarCam yesterday).

We finally entered at the north end of Eden Beach, and I took Martin down to the wreck off of Front Porch, and the big drum down there, and then we headed over to the ReefCam to give it a cleaning.

Then we checked out the wrecks of the Bakanal (Willie) and Our Confidence before crossing the marina channel and ending up at the Something Special site, where we got out at the house Seb is renting.

It was a nice drift dive. I also brough my Nikon D200 camera with me in a housing - first time I've used it that way.

More details on that part of the dive, as well as a couple of dozen photos, at:

Great shots Jake..Liked the sunset! Good luck with the new camera.

Thanks Jake.

Thanks for the pics. Good shot of the baby french anglefish.

Jake, very nice photos, looking forward to seeing more! Nice to know the water was warm enough for you too.

p.s.: Please tell Martin he needs a haircut.

Thanks for the report Jake! Great photos...so fun to see you on the cams!

Jake, thanks for the virtual dive. As I sit here with this nasty cold...2 weeks going...scrapped another dive weekend for us here, it didn't help my PBD, or my CDD (california dive depression)...lol!

I was with Martini on his 500th dive (have to look for that picture of him)...Please give him my congrats Oh, and I'm glad you found the wreck off Front Porch. He and I tried to find it once but missed it...went to Willy, then Our Confidence and back (on Seb and Mare's scooters)....

Found it Martini's 500th dive

Great! Congrat's to Martin! Nice Milestone!!
Also in reading "The Richter Scale"...Linda's Poem to you penned by Douglas MacArthur on your B'day was cool...I put it in my favorites!

Beautiful pics & thanks for the thorough u/w cleaning (and topside too)!
Congrats Martin
