Did a ship before and that was fun, I had a guide, played it safe. But I guess "they" figured others wouldn't be safe.
7th Groups new play ground for the dive teams!!

MG - They scuttled it in 212', that's a BIG ship down there. FWIW, there's a lot of superstructure within reach of rec divers. All of the "island" is above the 130' floor. Unfortunately that's a pretty small percentage of the whole structure. I would love to do a tech dive into the hanger deck. Wonder what the currents are like? (Hopefully better than my one dive on the Spiegel Grove.) Mugwump - why did you promise your daughter "no more deco dives"? And sadly SF diving limits are the same as rec limits unless you want to get special waivers (not worth the effort) so it's not going to do 7th Gp much good. It's not really a good day trip from Eglin and they'll probably have to charter a commercial boat (or maybe NEDU). It's supposed to be 25 miles off-shore. I'm hoping to tech dive it next summer.
