Wow! Glad everyone was safely rescued. I’m not personally familiar with that charter.

Was anyone dived the new wreck? :wink:

I assume they’ll raise it pretty quickly?
 
...I’m not personally familiar with that charter....
It's South Florida Diving Headquarter's smaller dive boat.
In the video I didn't see them using the bow line..Maybe tied in the other end??
 
My buddy and I went off that boat about 2 years ago.....last time I would ever dive with them. From the reports it sure sounds like a stern tie in, which would not surprise me, based on the stupidity I saw when we went out with them.

I've seen stern tie ins with a lot of south Florida dive operations, clearly the IQ requirements to be a dive boat operator in S Florida are very low.
 
They did a stern tie in on the Okinowa and then started taking on water (through the prop shaft maybe?).
