Footage of a recent trip way out in the Gulf of Mexico to check out a wreck in 385 feet of water. Check it out:

Nice video. Wow that's a boatload of lionfish!

Great video and nice find!

That was some big damn fish you guys got.

 

[RickyF]

Nice! I'm sure you had LOT's of deco on that dive!

Really nice video, ending with one of my favorite songs.

All I could think of, the whole time, was that the riskiest part of that 385 foot dive was going 150 miles offshore in that LITTLE BITTY BOAT!

I thought the boat looked small at first. That shot at the end seems to show a larger cabin section, so I thought perhaps it was larger than it appeared?

Boaters do crazy things in the gulf. I was diving the USS Mohawk last year which is 30 miles offshore. When we got to the site, we found two guys in a flat bottom jon boat fishing on the wreck.

That boat is 44 foot long and is pretty damn capable and solid. That being said, our first trip to this wreck in 2010 was on a 27 foot long boat...that was a bit on the small side.

CRAZY !! The Mohawk is 29 miles off shore, in the gulf. Have to be fools to go that far out in John-Boat.
