Hello -
I dove on the Starfish Enterprise on Sun 10/20/02.
Great diving!
The first dive was on the wreck Capt. Tony. This freighter was sunk as an artificial reef in 1996. She lies upright in about 85 feet of water. The vis was good enough to see her clearly from the surface. Her deck is gone and many large holes have been cut into her to make penetrations easy. There is a goliath grouper that calls her home, but we didn't see him.
The second dive was on a reef called the "Briny Breezes". Only about 60 feet down. Vis was 100+. Lovely reef, lots of smaller fish. Went in first, came out last. Friggin HID ran out of batteries! Phooey! Not a problem though as sunlight was getting all the way down.
Air Temp was 93, water was 83. Surface conditions were 1-2 feet. Very few clouds. Couldn't ask for better weather.
Had a great time, the Starfish is a good operation.
