INFO ON WRECK:
Hog Heaven is a 180-foot barge that lies upside down in 64 feet of water. While traveling to be sunk as an artificial reef, this ship flipped upside down. The barge was owned by Western Contractors Company of Iowa and was sunk in 1986. In 1988, a dredge pipe and concrete bridge beams were added to the site to help foster the formation of an artificial reef. In the same area is the 70-foot barge, Wayne, about 200 feet northeast. (N26 08.102 W080 04.833) The remains of the Pacific Reef Lighthouse are also nearby. This debris was sunk in 1989 to form an artificial reef.

The Tracy is a 132' oil rig supply boat. It sits up right in about 75' of water. It is a 100' north of the Jay Scutti tug wreck. A cable attaches the two of them. There is a 4' barracuda that lives in the wreck and he is not shy when it comes to divers. The ship has some large open spaces that you can enter. The photo shown is the Tracy before she sank.

Boat trip: $55

Boat trip, tanks, and weights: $75

We ask that you arrive at least thirty minutes to an hour before the dive so that we can get you both checked in and gear setup. Best time to show up at 7:00am, boat leave at 8:30am.

Hope to see you there!!
