Oriskany

[rockband2005]

How good is diving the Oriskany as just a sport diver not going past the no-deco limits. I am traveling home to visit my parents and they live less than 3 hours from Pensacola. I am just trying to figure out if it's worth the time to go out there and dive it.

Definitely worth it for rec divers. The bridges are all at or above recreational limits and there are numerous swimthroughs and look-ins to do. The site is awe inspiring and is a must do dive in all respects. If you are going to be that close, be sure and make time for this dive.

I am a recreational diver with six dives on the Oriskany and I still find myself wanting to get back out there again and again. There is just so much to see in the recreational range you wont believe it. There is just no way possible to see everything in two dives. I know DM's with tons of dives on the "O" and they tell me they still find new and interesting things every dive. Here are a few pics well within rec limits:

I dove it today and yesterday. Both days were great! Rockband - we had a guy from washington on the boat today - was that you on the H2O below?
