Name that wreck!

[Natasha]

I know a few big time wreck divers myself. You wouldn't happen to know my friend Joel would you?

 

[WreckWriter]

Joel? Can't think of anyone by that name that I know personally.

She's a 170' freighter off of Grand Bahama.

Wreck Number of Dives

United Caribbean 5

Hydro Atlantic 2

Copenhagen 4

Qualmann Tugs 2

Rodeo 25 4

Captain Dan 5

Ancient Mariner 8

RSB-1 3

Guy Harvey 2

Sea Empress 9

Noula 1

Benwood 1

All of these are enjoyable dives and most are within Recreational limits. The Hydro Atlantic is an awesome dive. Being a "real" wreck it is full of equipment yet.
As I live 1500 miles from this area I do not get to dive it as much as I would like but I do try to winter in Pompano Beach for 2-3 weeks per year. Nearly everone that has done a dive off of Boca Raton has dove the Sea Empress. I must say that it is a very exciting dive. It will still make your heart skip a beat when you are tieing off to this wreck and when completed you look to the side and see a 400 pound Jewfish within arms reach from you!

For a while there I thought this was a FL only string! Thanks Ontario Diver, Lost Yooper and Nordic Diver for sticking up for the Great Lakes contingent!
My list of wrecks is not to long.
24 in Lk. Michigan
5 in Lk Superior. I plan to add to this list in a couple of weeks.
1 in Lk Huron
2 in Bahamas
To quote Cris Kohl "The shipwrecks of the Great Lakes are the best preserved shipwrecks in the world". I consider myself lucky to have them right in my backyard.

My favorite? I'll have to dive a hundred more or so and will decide!

All in warm clear water. I'm looking forward to doing some of the Great Lake wrecks someday and also some of those off the NC coast. For now though $$ limits me to those I can dive free or cheap :\
