Smooth, like a Comet

Not infrequently, our booked charters have to be rerouted to the Wolfe Islander because of weather.

Tonight we made a radical break from tradition, using the glassy smooth surface as an excuse to redirect our scheduled dive from the KPH to the more distant and historically elusive Comet (1848-1861).

If "seasoned" is what you call an experienced diver, is "unflavoured" a reasonable way to describe a newbie? In any case, our expedition showed the diversity of our club well, with divers young and older, with varying levels of experience.

The water was comfortable at about 17 degrees, with a visible and palpable thermocline about five feet off the eighty foot bottom.

The Comet features 22-foot paddle wheels and a few intact stacks remain to peer into. Gobies were the only fish I saw.

Nice report, Jeffy. The marginal diver list is really cool. Good to see some great posts and busy diving going on.
