I am looking to set up a advanced dive to the Mexican Pride, a barge sunk off Clearwater in 130fsw. The date and price is as yet undetermined, but the latest we could go would be late november, early december, and the price will likely be around $100-$150 for a 2 tank dive. I have spoken to Captain Mac of http://www.reeftours.com and discussed some basic aspects of the dive. Divers would be required to use nitrox, and the captain said computer also, but I dont think that would be case in the end. Unless you cut your own tables, it is recommended.
He also said that using a single set of doubles would be fine, and if self sufficient, deco dives would be possible. This would be a 2 tank dive, with either 2 tanks on the Pride, or 1 on the pride, and 1 on a shallower wreck, the Blackthorn. The pride dives will average 100ft depth, with a bottom of 130.
Macs boat can hold up to 10 divers, and possibly 12. I would be going along with at least one buddy, so Im looking for 8 divers seriously interested, and who could committ to payment by the end of October.
Again, this is an advanced dive, so AOW cert or deep experience is required, as is nitrox cert.
Here is some info on the wreck. http://www.mikey.net/aue/mexican.html
