need suggestions for some wreck diving in the lower keys

[THRILLSEEKER]

Heading down to Sunshine Key in a few weeks, looking to do some wreck diving.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I dove the Thunderbolt last year and had a blast, looking to add a few more to the list.

Why not the WIlkes Barre off Key West???

Although, that is a little deep... lol...

Are you looking for rec wreck diving? Or deep stuff???

There is the Adolphus Busch, off of Looe Key, which sits in about 95-100 ft. Awesome wreck...

I would recommend that one...

thanks, thats about the depth range that I'm looking at

Yeah, I figured...

The Wilkes Barre is around 260. So, I thought that would be a little deep for most folks...

Check out www.fla-keys.com

cool stuff there...

He is actually a member here...

We do also dive the Wilkes-Barre .. its a deep dive - 250fsw to the bottom.
