FYI, Army Tanks can be accessed through Divers Paradise or Tarpoon Lagoon charters. Both go there regularly. Grove Scuba is an option as well.

You’ll generally see Army Tanks paired with a closer wreck in the area. Neptune is accessible from there, but a bit south.

We did Neptune Memorial with Diver's Paradise. First stop was Emerald Reef which really kicked our ass due to some pretty intense surge. The memorial reef was totally worth it though. Really cool dive and deep enough to be below most of the surge even on a choppy day. Lots of life and fun swim throughs.

As for the operation we really liked their captain most of the crew and their boat had a good set up. Didn't care too much for their DM who made sure to let us know he was hungover and didn't give the most reassuring safety briefing. If you rented tanks through them they were already on the boat for you but they didn't have a trough or anything to rinse the gear which sucked when staying in a hotel room.

Overall would dive them again for sure but definitely have a strong dive plan with your buddy.

Divers Paradise has troughs and hoses back behind the dive shop next to the pool. Unfortunately, they often forget to remind people of that.
