Yea that was my next question. I live and sail in Beaufort SC the bottom in mud and its easy to lock in the anchor, Have not had much practice anchoring in a sandy bottom? Oh and can I rent gear for scuba? and is it cheaper to do that than meeting the dive boat? I can bring fins mask. I would just need the BCD and tank octopus and weights knife. This is all new to me but I,m taking notes.
