Barge A & Rig Dive - June 30, 2007© Photos by Mark Miller © Hi-Res Source
The crew consisted of my wife Pam, and two of my boys Paul & Luke. It was initially desired to inspect the Casino Magic Barge and it’s 2 APCs, but a boat was fishing on it upon arrival so the plan was diverted to first inspect the A-Barge and then visit the Casino Magic Barge. However, the visibility was so poor on the A-Barge that the Casino Magic Barge dive was aborted. The Barge had some soft corals on it and a few fish too. This was my first trip for the new Honda Engine after being pushed into replacing one that got ruined by a faulty thermostat gasket. We had fun with Red Snapper, Grouper, Kings, Triggers, and even a nice Flounder. We also dove a nearby Rig for some photo fun. It was somewhat calm which always makes for a great trip.
