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.

Blue Shark

Prionace glauca

Size:
to 11 ft,
reportedly to 21ft

Habitat:
open ocean

Notes:
dangerous

A fast-swimming oceanic shark, these are colored vivid blue in life, but quickly fade to gray in death. The Blue shark is described as a persistent and dangerous stalker and is often found in great numbers. This is the shark most likely seen in caged shark dives off Rhode Island and is probably the commonest shark in our offshore waters during the summer months. Other identifying features of the Blue shark are the extremely long pectoral fins and relatively slim body ( compared to those below ) with very unequal upper and lower tail lobes.
