Sub and Targets

Page 2

Holes in the pressure hull make homes for a number of nervous fish.	Spadefish hide from the mass of divers.
Unlike many wrecks, this one is so narrow that the divers are concentrated in a narrow band.	Divers, fish, and wrecks. What else could you ask for?
	One of a number of Queen Angels on the sub.
I looked all over for a lionfish, but to no avail.	One happy diver.
A small sea cucumber gets bothered by some fish.	Jeffs daughter enjoying the view.
An entry hatch?	A few pieces of the wreck are to the side. Sometimes you can see an unexploded depth charge next to the sub.
I watched as the divers left me one by one on the bottom.	I was reluctant to leave the fish soup.

So reluctant that I ended up with 30 minutes of bottom time, a 50 foot half depth stop and a long hang time for safety. When I hit the surface, I had only used 1200 pounds of air. Even I was amazed. For a brief moment in time, I had again been at one with the sea.

The chatter on the way in was a sure indication that everyone had a great day of diving. Even the ones who got sick,had a fantastic time....once they were in the water. It was a great group of divers who helped make it a lot of fun. I treated myself to a crabcake sandwich at a seafood festival booth on the way out. Altogether a fine ending to a fine day.
