I just did a wreck dive a couple weeks ago and was very disappointed not to be able to find the wreck. Granted the vis. was poor for the open ocean ( maybe 20-30 ft), but nonetheless it was frustrating. This was for the Biscayne Wreck/Miracle Express.
After reviewing the book some more, it seems that there is a discrepancy in the GPS coords. First of all the Biscayne wreck/ Miracle Express has two sets of coords. The one in the title says Lat 25.42.263 Lon 80.05.302 and then another set of coords. saying 25.40.194, 80.040.358.
I believe the true coords. may be the latter of the two.
Also, looking at the Sheri-Lynn which is described as being 300 yards due east of the Biscayne Wreck, its coords. are 25.40.090, 80.04.223. Clearly something is amiss.
And finally looking at the Rio Miami which is described as being 100 yards from both the Biscayne/Miracle Express and the Sheri-Lynn, its coords. are 25.42.166, 80.05.232.
At least one of these has to be wrong. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to try the Biscayne wreck again tomorrow afternoon, but this time I'm going to try the second set of coords. I'll let you know how it goes!
