Adolphus Busch this week

[Capt Jim Wyatt]

We made 5 or 6 dives on the Adolphus Busch this week. The 400-500 pound Goliath grouper was there and we saw it on all of the dives. There were also 3 or 4 smaller (200 lb) ones tagging along.

The best vis we had was about 120 feet as I could see the aftersection of the wheelhouse from the forecastle. Water temp was 82-85° F on the bottom & current was nil.

The Busch was a nice wreck. I wish we had more bottom time on it when I went down there.

I missed the stinkin' grouper, though. Some others saw him, as well as some huge groupers on Looe Key. I missed those, too

Oh well, maybe next time.

Here's a pic that turned out ok of one of the towers on the wreck.

Hi

We dove that wreck three years ago and saw that grouper. We also, while hanging around 15 ft, watched a whale shark go across amidship. Very impressive, unfortunately no pictures.

Happy Diving

What was the topside weather like? Weather reports are always welcome here.
