Expired link - Seeker for sale again.

Only $25,000. Sounds like they blew an engine. Pity, they put a lot of work into the old girl.

I spent a lot of hours under this boat, diving and not.
... and let's not forget ...

Diversion II was broken up somewhere on the Chesapeake Bay years ago. Just a few dive boats left. Shops too - Dosil's closed-up this year.

Much of both boats' old websites was folded into NJScuba.net, so they're not all gone. Looks like Seeker's old domain name has been bought up and turned into spam. Alas.

Purple Jellyfish - 2022

September 1, 2022

Rare mauve stinger jellyfish found at the Jersey Shore. Its sting is 'intense,' scientists warn.

Mauve stingers are typically found in the open ocean, not along the coast, marine scientists said.

Maggie McGuire was at Sea Watch Beach in Manasquan with her family Monday when they spotted something unusual in the water - a small, umbrella-shaped, purplish-pink jellyfish speckled with dots. They scooped one up with their bucket and let it swim around in the water before eventually releasing it on the other side of the beach, away from swimmers.

"The water was literally filled with them," McGuire recalled. Her kids caught and released probably a dozen, she estimated, and other kids were doing the same. She did a quick search online, found a Facebook group - New Jersey Jellyspotters - and posted photos of the jellyfish. Two marine biologists reached out and informed her they were mauve stingers, a species rarely found on New Jersey beaches.
