Ean diver is most likely working at the moment so I thought I'd help and copy all info from SB2 to here for he and those interested. Hope it helps.
Eandiver: We'll try it again on this site
Mexican Pride. 130' to the bottom and the deck is at 100'. 6 divers max, $100 pp. Capt Ty out of St.Pete (Baypines)
Buddy teams should be either single tank or doubles and at least advanced diver certified with a computer. The best times are weekdays for less crowding on the wreck (gulfdiver should be happy)
Single tank divers figure on two short dives on the Pride, double divers figure on one 20 + min to 120'. The third dive will be on a shallow site on the way in.
Talk amongst yourselves and come up with a plan.
Elchato:
What date would that be?
eandiver:
Whatever date the said group comes up with.
This involves 6 (or more) people talking amongst themselves, making a plan, contacting Capt. Ty with a date, working with him to finalize a date and doing the dive.
Capt. Ty:
The third dive can be another wreck or a reef - whatever you guys pick.
Narcosis:
If you plan this for August and can do it the last week of August (monday the 27th - Friday the 31st) you can put me down for 2 slots.
Would we be tieing into the wreck directly? with such short bottom times I wouldn't want to swim far for the anchor line.
GulfCoastDiver:
What would a trip like this cost, 3 tanks, 35 miles each way (or more)?
MissD:
$100 pp, check first post. I think it was said before we could not do 3 tanks. Ty is that correct?
DeepStops:
Post #4, Ty said dive #3 could be another wreck or reef
GulfCoastDiver:
Ok so it dose help to read the hole post
MissD:
The blind leading the blind here...guess I should have read closer as well. As DeepStops just noted dive number three can be on another wreck on the way in. Meaning it is a three tanker for $100
GulfCoastDiver:
ok , so when are we going?
elchato:
is the wreck really worth the short bottom time? never been there.
I mean, 20 minutes bottom time is kinda short... and I dive with a single tank.
and are the tanks included in the price?
Deepstops:
The biggest jewfish you'll ever see most likely.

Yes it's worth the bottom time. You have to supply all of your gear including tanks.
Personally I think that considering the distance and current price of fuel it's an excellent price.

Those dates work for me too. That's 3 people diving doubles so far.
did I mention the buddy teams need to have the same volume tanks so no one gets shorted on a dive?
JohnnyBravo:
I can do those dates!!! Any single tankers signed up yet?
BTW Scubaboard v1.0 is back up...
GulfCoastDiver:
I can do most any monday thru wednesday, and diving singles
Now Carry one
