Mexican Pride - December 1 - Captain Ty's Boat

[Scott5644]

Not a full boat. You would make number 6. You want it? I amy have to come to make sure you do all the dives I can pour some hot water down your backs. They did that when Johnny and I went to dive with the seals - it was awesome!

That hot water down the wetsuit was ALMOST as good as the seals.

I have to agree with you there Scott. The three of us should do that dive again.

Ean or someone would you be so kind as to give a brief synopsis of the wreck, please?

I had to look up the word synopsis first but here you go.

http://uwex.us/floridawrecks.html look for "Mexican Pride" on the left and there you have it.

Additional information. If you want an anchor bring a lift bag, there are dozens to choose from snagged on the wreck.
There is a ton of fishing line from monofilament up to spider wire. Right Jens?
If you are interested in a rod and reel I'll show you where one is in less than perfect condition but I'm sure with some elbow grease it will be fine. Maybe.
Lots of large Jew Fish (I'm not PC).

I'm sure there will be lots of jelly fish so bring some Adolphs (sp) meat tenderizer or salve in case you get stung.

A big boat sank in deep water, brief enough.



Sorry, couldn't help my self.

I almost added that but you beat me to it.

There was enough line, lures, anchors, and other items to open up our own Bass Pro Shop

Cheers.

6:30 show 7 we leave. I think that sounds good. Especially with doing three dives and it getting dark so early now.
