Dive Report 06/21
Copper Wreck
Talk about a Perfect day for a Dive!
Seas flat calm, call them 1 foot if you must.
Air Temps in the lower 80’s
Water Temps, 60 something on the Surface and 48 at the bottom. Just right.
As you moved through the Thermo cline at around 50 Foot you say awe that feels better, after overheating in a dry suit while gearing up and you say the same thing on the way up after getting a little chilly on the bottom.
Visibility about 10-15 on the bottom, Not bad for NJ diving.
Max Depth 85 FSW
Dive times 37 and 40 Minutes.
I think everyone had good-great dives, lots and I mean Lots of life on the Wreck, Sea bass, Ling Cod, lobsters Crabs, Black Fish etc.
I found a beautiful sand dollar to bring home for my 4.5 year old daughter, a nice addition to her collection of goodies daddy has brought home. No value to anyone other then the bond between a father and daughter. Priceless.
I wish we had 4 dives Saturday vs. 2. It was my 1st time on that wreck and spent most of both dives working and learning the starboard side from the Screws to just past the engine.
Speaking of the engine, what a great picture I have in my mind of that big block rising 20 plus feet off the bottom, covered in sea anomies, lobsters and fish hiding in the pipes, big fishing nets draping the engine, waving slightly in the current like silent ghost, waiting to grab your gear. Just beautiful!!
Not much else to say, really other then I’m drooling to get back and see the port and forward parts of this neat old lady on the bottom and to feel, see the millions of bubble that greet you from your splash if you keep your eyes open when you roll in for that 1st dive of the day.

Capt Bills Trip Report
Seems now besides John everybody else is bustin on me about not writing dive reports. It’s not like we’re not diving we’re getting out a couple of times a week. We’ve been hitting all our popular spots, been doing all the stupid things all divers seem to do. The sea bass population has been unbelievable on the copper wreck as both my misguided mate and Chris will attest to. The lobsters have been cooperative. Even I have been able to get in the water and do some diving. Even been plugging along with one or two lobsters a trip. I’ve developed a nasty habit of getting a little bit to aggressive grabbing sea bass and had the spines in my hand to prove it, could hardly get my glove off the other days as I had “spined” the glove to my hand. This is just one stupid stunt I do. We’ve had a few guys stick their spear in the wreck while the fish sit and laugh at them. Had a few very nice flounder taken over the week end one of which was 24 plus inches. Not a lot of objects of art coming up seems everyone has been waylaid by the food shopping. The seas have been great, flat although still only 50 on the bottom. Vis has been average of course with the lobster guys they don’t care they only need to see to the end of their hand. I am going to try and run the copper on Saturday for another fish acquisition trip. I know gas is hurting all of us, last time I filled the boat it cost 1350.00 (that’s American, not pesos). I’m still going diving I’m not a quarry kind a guy, I’ll quit drinking (no really) just to go. I hope I’ll be more entertaining in my future reports but I think I’m still upset over having no marshmallows or hot dog for my recent big bonfire. Hope to see all of you on the boat it’s the season lets do it. The copper wreck calls me. Capt. Bill and the crew of the Tunaseazure ARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
