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.

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.

Brown Trout

Salmo trutta

Size
to 41"

Although not native to North America, the widely-introduced European Brown Trout is the most common trout in our area. It thrives in poorer water conditions than native species. Salmon are very similar to trout but generally larger. Introduced from Europe to much of the United States during the late 1800s, the brown trout has adapted well, tolerating warmer water than the native brookie. Sides have a light brown or yellow cast with black spots and usually some orange or red spots. The spots often have whitish to bluish halos. The tail generally lacks spots but may have a few.
