Friday through Sunday, Sept 21-23, 2007 - Eastport ME

Eastport diving; what a treat! This time we saw a lot of Sea Peaches and Sea Vases, and it seemed that the Northern Red anemones were somewhat smaller and fewer than in previous years, though still gorgeous. We saw a lot of Bushy Backed Nudibranchs, a couple of HUGE lobsters, and Jean (or variably Gene or Jacques)

the wolffish has a new lady. We did get Jean (Gene or Jacques) to come out of his cave for whelks for photo ops and video, and John saw him eat a hermit crab who got too close to his cave. He is now about 4 feet long.
Our group suffered a couple of flooded digital cameras (I only got pictures on the first dive!!) and a ripped a dry suite neck seal, but the diving was fantastic anyway.

Comments:

Sounds like good fun; sorry about the suit and cameras though. Let me guess - Savageau?

And the water temperature was...?

Sorry, I should have mentioned this. Water temps were 50°F to 51°F. Visibility was actually very good, up to 20-25 ft on the second dive!
Paul wasn't on this trip.
