Judging by the pics you took, it's gonna be awesome when more fish "start to call it home." That is amazing. Can't believe the viz! I was supposed to dive it July 1...but because of my pending move, I had to cancel. Hopefully later in the summer. Thanks for sharing...really cool!!!!!

Just as the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy is called "Big John" by her former and current crew, the Oriskany was called the "Mighty O" by those who served aboard her.

All I can say is AWESOME....can't wait to get up there and check it out. The viz looked great. I couldn't tell by the pics if you had much current. Sounds like the water temp was pleasing at least at the surface. How long was the boat ride out to the site?

Boat Ride is a little over 2 hours so plan on an all day trip. We left the dock a little after 8am and got back around 4 or so.
We really had a perfect day condition wise. The crew even said the water was as flat as they had ever seen it. First dive we had no current at all. The second dive we did have a bit of a current to contend with. It was strong enough that some effort was required to get through it.
Visibility was easily in the 80 foot range.
Words really can't describe how incredible the dive was. I cant imagine anyone not enjoying it.

So you were anchored on the wreck for 2 dives? Was your boat strictly rec or were there tech divers too? I'm trying to decide if I want to do this in doubles or a single and a good shop to dive with.
