I was asked by the USS Rankin officer's alumni if I could get
some underwater photos and video of the USS Rankin off of
Stuart. I asked Randy Jordan of the Jupiter Dive Center if he
would be willing to help out. We set the trip up for 26May and
had about seven divers go. What a day, the seas were flat and
the skys were sunny and the seas were a nice blue. But
the water temp on the ship was around 50 degrees,
yes I mean 50 degrees. It made the visibility way over 100ft and I
think thats the best you will see on that 459ft wreck. What a dive.
I posted my photos on my web-site for the people who
served on the Rankin and Randy took one hell of a video.
Anyone get a chance go by the shop and watch it.

The USS Rankin rests north to south on her side in 120 feet of water. She lies off
the coast of Stuart but the dive shop I use is in Jupiter. Its a little far but when the
seas are calm its a nice ride
