Friday the 13th isn't traditionally a good day to do things - if you're superstitious, that is. However, taking advantage of an ad hoc charter organised by Doug and True-Dee McCarthy, four of us enjoyed an excellent two-tank excursion with Pat Coyne of Pat's Charters. We hit the Munson first. Visibility was as good as I can remember - at least 60 feet. Water temperatures were in the region of 48°F (9°C). The second dive, with a sensible surface interval, was the Mapleglen. This enormous wreck features a truly massive, 4-bladed propeller and accompanying rudder (lying off the side). These features and massive boilers are the principal things to see, but a swim all the way along the broken remains stretching about 250 feet is well worth the trip. Visibility was a little poorer here - at about 40 feet, but the visit was well worth while.
