Hi, Florida Conch Diver,
Bernie Chowdhury and a group of his tech students will be diving Key West Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If anyone is interested in diving the Vandenberg, there are still open spots on the boat. Below is an excerpt of the email Bernie sent out to his students and I have his permission to repost a portion of it in this forum:
Had a great conversations with Eric Schaaf, the manager of Southpoint Divers in Key West. We're all set to dive on their morning trips to the Vandenburg, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 12, 13, 14.
Please NOTE the following:
- The dive boat will leave at 8 am
- It is a short ride to the wreck, as it's only 7 miles away and the boat is fast.
- The shallowest parts of the wreck come to 40 or 50 feet of the surface. The main deck is at 95 feet. The sand is at 140 feet.
- Our in-water times are limited to 45 minutes on each dive. We have a one hour surface interval, during which time the dive boat moves to a different spot on the boat. You need to plan and execute your dives to stay within those time frames.
- THERE IS TO BE NO PENETRATION OF THE WRECK ON ANY OF THE DIVES. (Please respect this as there are liability issues.)
If you are interesting in joining the dives, please contact the Southpoint Divers in Key West directly.
