Just my .02 and its worth what you paid for it. I never use a weight belt and i rig for a right hand release because my stages or deco gas pretty much make my left arm usless for this. This might not be a factor now in your diving but it sounds like it will be soon and why change later...

Some of my best dives have been in less that 30' of water with my little brother along. As far as comfort goes i am fine with whatever, the logistical part of the dive is what i like but i have to have a reason and my reason is usually a true wreck or a war related sinking. My favorite wreck...

New around here but not to SW Fl. or diving so put me down for whatever it is. Thanks Mike M.

Look up Florida Keys Reef diving with Capt Jim Wyatt he is on this board. He can take care of your diving needs for the Wilkes Barre. You cant go to the keys and not do the Wilkes, I believe there is some kind of law against it.... ;) Just dove it 2 weeks ago and man was that cool...

Nothing weird for me but i did see some snowy grouper on the Kendrick the other day and from what i understand they only like the deeper water. Mike.

Wednesday.....darn i have to work. If you ever need a diver for a weekend dive please let me know. Any depth is fine with me. Thanks Mike M.

I will try and help but you need to give a depth range. I prefer the ones less traveled but that also means alittle deeper. Mike.

I believe that the depth is just a logistical part of the dive plan. I have been diving South Fl. my whole life and was running out of "true" wreck's to dive so i had to venture deeper. I get in the water only to see true wrecks or war ship's sunk for research or during a war. I think it is...

23 October 2004 The day started at Bahia Honda state park boat ramp, launch boat and head towards the resting site of the U.S.S. Kendrick (DD 612) a Bristol class Destroyer that measured 348'. The ship was built in the early forty's and served in WWII. She was sank off American Shoals (I...

Great report...!!!!! The Hydro is one of my favorite wrecks over there. I dive with SFDH all the time when i go East. There new "small boat" looks great. Flannigans for tuna steak after is the main reason i drive over to that side of the state. If you ever need another diver for any of...

Seas on Sat. were 2 with a solid 1kt current. Sunday was 3' seas and <1 current. Bottom temp on the deep wreck was 60 burrrrrr....!!!! Have a great time. Mike.

CD, Very Very well put..!!! I will say after doing some really nice wreck diving over the past couple off years i cant wait to get back and take my Intro class. My LDS goes to X and i got to X so now it is time to travel to get some more training. To me cavern was one of the best classes i...

Great report...!!!! I was down also, we got out to some of the Ghost Fleet wrecks out of KW and the vis. was 80' plus on those wrecks as well. Glad you had a great time. Mike M.

I think you are good to go either way, i have been doing the wrecks for years over there and still have many to do. I usually go with South florida diving headquaters on there small boat or with Reef Cat or with Avid diver charters. Also a quick trip south is always good. Have fun Mike M.

Trip report. Made it to the Kendrick on saturday the vis was 70' plus on the wreck 100' plus in the midwater. Surface temp was in the mid 80's and the bottom temp was 60 burrrrrr. current was 1, seas less than 3. sunday on the Wilkes bow all was the same but the bottom temp was around 75...

For sure..!!

I was just on the T-Bolt last month and if you find a DR-real with about 150' of line reeled off wind it up and consider it your B-day present..!!! I found a better way out. I will be on the Ghost Fleet this weekend in the keys and will report on the water temps. and conditions monday. Mike.

Excellent point.! mine are easy to spot because they are doubles....the only thing i use a single alum. 80 for is a deco bottle...!!! ;) Dago.

Bare alum. looks and last longer than paint any day. Dago

I have been beedblasting tanks for the local shops for 20 years and in no way is it harmful to the alum. This is miss information period. Dago
