Dive Report Whiskey Wreck Sep.28.2008

[jkh36619]

Just dove the whiskey for the 1st time. Vis was horrible. 6 ft max. Tons of particulate floating in the water column. This may be due to the tide neaping today. Im not sure which end is bow or stern but the south side had about 6 ft exposed. North side, not so much. Not much life hanging around. A few Stones and only say one blue. A few blennies, spades, and assorted small fish.

Making our way back to the beach, I saw a Manta(about 2-3 foot wing span jumping out of the water, As we made out way to the sand bar, 2 mantas were swimming around us, about the same size. Probably the most exciting thing I have ever seen. Those things can move pretty fast.

6' visibility is pretty average for the Whiskey, by no means horrible

The wreck lies East-West. The East side is the stern, and if you swim 20-30' from the long section of exposed ship, you'll actually find the stern portion of the ship where the rudder is located(but not visible right now). The long section you were diving on was the starboard side of the hull. The bow portion of the wreck is broken off and can be found(further west) when the wreck is more exposed(not right now). The portside of the hull can come uncovered at times as well, but its not visible right now.
