Divers from the Valley, Canada, and San Antonio ventured out to the Texas Clipper, however, currents from the Rio Grand river prevented them from getting on the ship so everyone opted to head north to the Dolphin rig. Visibility was 50 feet with 85 degree water and choppy seas. The 5 spear fisherman on board were very successful. Seas are predicted be to be rough this week so we look forward to next weekend.

October 18, 2010Divers from the Valley and San Antonio went back to the Texas Clipper in 2 to 4 foot seas. Water temperature on the ship was 86 degrees with visibility around 80 feet all the way to the oceans floor. A large school on ling cod circled the ship much like sentinels on guard duty. Diver I crew spent some time cleaning up line and will start cleaning off the shrimp nets soon.
