This will be the first dive report Im posting to SB. If anyone has any input it is welcomed. Im pretyy much putting in a description of the dive and the info from my log book.
The Vitale is 130' Ferry boat sunk in 1998 in 72 feet of water. The ship sits upright and i believe it points east. I buddied up with a random I met on the boat. We descended quickly as the current was very strong. Letting go of the line would mean a sand dive. The boat (Ibis of Hollywood) was tethered off to the wheel house. We dove the deck for a few minutes and then spent much of the time swimming through the hull and underdeck. We came up around and through the wheel house and then dropped down to the sand off the bow. Visibility was maybe 20 ft and the current made it a more difficult dive. Awesome none the less.
Quick info:
Max Depth: 72 ft
Bottom time: 36 Min
Temp: 77F
Vis: 20 ft
Water condition: strong current
Awesome wreck to dive!
