Just returned from a long weekend on Bull Shoals with the Y-Kiki Divers on our Barnacle Bill's Houseboat Weekend.

Fantastic weather and great water conditions for us all weekend! Water temp was 70 F to 40 ft. deep, and 60 F below that to at least 130 ft. (was a recreational group). Vis was 5-15 to 20 ft., a little better down to the thermocline, and 20-25 ft. below 40 ft.

Saw lots of Blue Catfish, a number of crawfish, the usual suspects, and some small skinny shiny blue fish that liked to swim up to our lights on the night dives.

We made many night dives, a fair number of deep dives, and conducted class dives for AOW, Peak Performance Buoyancy, S&R, Deep, and Night.

We'd be happy to have you along, Bjorn. Great bunch of folks, delicious food, and as little or as much diving as you like. The trip price includes all air fills, food, & transportation to and from Bull Shoals if you wish to ride with us in the van or one of the trucks. We also have a small boat for running tanks back to the dock for fills.

Capt. Steve & Capt. Bruce. I was in charge of dive site selection for training dives. Scuba Sally was in charge of coordinating Fun Dives. We had many great cooks (not me!)
