Here are some pics of the Russian Freighter at Pensacola, FL. I wish I could live down there but not until retirement.

Cool. Practice on clearing your mask. That is what a lot of people have a problem with and freak. Other than that watch your gauges and make sure you know your air pressure. Oh and you might want to check out ScubaBoard.com, a lot of great information on there and great people like here.

Just a few more. The first picture has a octopus under the wreck, it is the brown circle and the big conch also.

ScubaGuy, my hubby frequents that site ALL the time...almost as much as I'm on here. You're right, the people there are great, very knowledgeable, and very happy to share that knowledge.
Awesome pics!! I wish I would have gotten some pics of our trip to Cozumel. The diving was out of this world.

Hey scubaguy,
We are planning on going down there in june. We spent a few days there last year and my son did his first beach dives there. The wiskey in Foley AL. actually. I'm wondering what was your max depth there? Vis looks pretty good. Who took you out? My sons only 10 so he's limited to 40 foot right now. What reef sites would be good for him? We wanna dive the whole time were there so if you can point me in the right direction it'll be alot of help. Also you need to come over and check out the 125 now. You'r daughter will like it. Got some nice fish in it now.
Sunday afternonn would be good if that'll work for you. I lost you'r email, so I havent gotten back to you. Been kinda crazy around here too.

If you want to stay in the 40 ft range go to the east coast. Just let the boats know in West Palm Beach. I can not remember the Dive Shops name but I will try to find out. I will have to check it out but the Flower Garden would be one. Now the wrecks in the Gulf have more fish life then the reefs on the east coast. We saw more on these dives then on the east coast. Also the Destin Jetties offer shore dives and I hear there is some good life to look at and a wreck obout 100 yards of shore. I dove with DivePros and the set me up with the Y-Knot and captain Dave. I will get the number for you later. Max dept was 81 feet and the vis was 50 foot. Here is the number 850-712-4175 ask for Captain Dave Mucci he is real good.

You are so close, shame on you
Yeah I did not dive for a long time until I found my recent dive buddy. Still do not dive as much as I want to but I dive more than I used to.

Did you get a chance to dive the aircraft carrier? I really like to dive in the keys, love the duane and have not had a chance to go dive the spiegel grove but I hope I can some day. Oh and what kind of camera do you have. I was looking at getting the sealife dc600 6.1 mp maxx set. What do you think.
