Their dogs are normal size but there's something about the way they do them that's fantastic. The best part is you can get 6 of them with everything, plus a soda and it only costs like $5!

Anyway, I think we agree that it could definitely be done as a day trip.

Statements like this are the reason we get along so well!!

Dalia and I are now certified and really want to dive. I couldn't make it the 19th but hopefully the next shore or Dutch dive will fit into our schedule.

I dived shark river inlet(BELMAR) last Fri. At 3rd ave and A st. There are a lot of tropicals in now. I saw spotfin butterflies a second type of butterfly that I have not seen there before, an atlantic burfish (puffer) and grouper. Last year I a saw damsels.
I have a slurp gun and a lot of extra gear. I know people that caught Queen angels, lion fish and squirrel fish there but after about 75 dives there I have yet to see an angel. This dive site must be done at slack water. Good luck and good vis to you....Craig.

I will be diving again next week if anyone wants to go. High water should be around 11 or so on that fri. I will have to check the tide book.

I have a slurp gun but found its hard to get the fish positioned in front of the gun to slurp them up and sometimes you wind up getting a lot more than fish in the gun. It also could hurt the fish. So lately I have been usin a 3inch diameter acrylic tube about a foot long with a cap on one end. I lay the tube on the bottom close to the fish and just try and puresway the fish into the tube. then quikly put a hand over the open end. I bring a couple of plastic bags with me. I take my hand off the open end slide a bag over it and let the fish swim into the bag. I got lucky with the grouper. As soon as I put the tube down the fish swam into it thinking it made a new home. These fish are not going to make it back into the open sea and will soon die here so I collect them and give most to friends. I would guess one of the zip tie containers you could get from home depot would work.

I don't think I'm going to make it to MACNA - so if anyone wants to dive on Sunday, 9/16 let me know. Or even on the 23rd before the meeting (depending on the tides)
