Circle of Heros - Statues on Veterans Reef

[ChrisF]

Does anybody have good numbers for where they're dropping them? I know they're near Veterans Reef and have several numbers there, but it's still a pretty wide area. Was thinking we might pay them a visit on Saturday.

Statues lowered 40 feet underwater in Gulf of Mexico for 1st dive memorial honoring U.S. veterans

It doesn't look like they've had a chance to update the Pinellas County web site with the specific location yet.

From what i've read they are officially opening the site on August 5th and are asking divers to wait until then which is probably why they haven't published the numbers yet. I know Gulfport Dive Center is running a 2 tank charter out there on the 5th. Numbers should be available by then i would believe.

Gotcha. Didn’t realize it wasn’t fully open to the public yet.

that's pretty cool. I'll have to check it out next time i am in the area. I've dove once out of clearwater with 2 shea doing a spear fishing trip.

mooring balls were placed on the site this weekend so it is all set for divers
