They do the Sea Emp regularly, as well as other reefs, wrecks, etc. The two Goliath's (Fred and Ethel) are worth the price of admission alone!

I didn't know there were two... I've never gotten close enough to be able to tell the difference so I guess I could have seen both of them and just didn't know it.

Some of the better deep wrecks would be:

Mercedes (97fsw), Capt. Dan (110 fsw), Atria (133 fsw), RSB-1 (112 fsw).

Personally, I never get tired of diving the Mercedes or the Atria...

Dive Op Wise in Pompano, I only use Fill Express...

There are definitely two. Don't know which one's which, but one let me swim along side just out of arm's reach. Very friggin' cool!
 
I just returned today from Delray Beach...we had a totally incredible dive last Monday on The Sea Emperor with Scubatyme and Capt. Bryan. Saw the Goliath, a huge stingray, and the swim throughs are really neat. You'll need some gloves to help you hang on to the rope during your SS--Current was really strong up top.

On our second dive, (Sanctuary), we saw a 5# lobster, a 6' turtle, and 3 huge crabs inside a barrel sponge that was about the size of a 55 gallon drum. Great drift dive--but don't get stuck with the float! You'll hog all the air!
 
Great stuff amigos. You've given me exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for all the help!

If you are ever in Dallas, and need to know which muddy Texas pond to dive, give me a holler...

Sanctuary is a great drift dive.
