I need to get over that way at least once this summer and do some diving. Looks like there is even more reason now to go out and do it.
Hmm... when she is finally laid to rest (or would that be laid to work?), will there be a day-of-the-sinking dive boat out there for a first splash? I've never seen a sinking first hand, and I'd love to see a fresh-off-the-surface wreck.
(Our shop in Baton Rouge was sharing the boat with Tom when we all went out and dove Mac's Reef in November. That was a nice dive, but I'd like to dive it with a few fewer divers in the water at one time. It was like a subway station down there!)

Most folks usually don't like to take people out on the first day because of safety. Everthing needs to have a little time to settle and adjust to the pressure. If you have a big group you could probably talk to whomever you book with and get out there to watch the sinking. Depending on what you work out they may let go for diving on it...
The week of, then? 
I'm certain that there wouldn't be anyone with an issue. Like I said, you may be able to talk someone into letting you go the day of...
If you really want to go the day of and a charter boat wouldn't take you (they may); you shouldn't have any trouble going out on a small boat.
This guy has a bunch of pictures of the last wreck that was sunk in PC in 2007. Here is a link to one of them: ScubaBoard Gallery - New_Barge_1 - Powered by PhotoPost It is called the Mac Reef. The NDSTC used it as a lift practice and donated it to PCMI who had FAMI and PCDC take care of getting it sunk.
Does anybody have a contact for anyone that may have accurate info on sinking the Red Sea aka Infinity Blu? I would really like to watch it go down... it was at PC Marina but It is not there now, any idea where it is? Also does anyone have GPS numbers on Mac's Reef?
They just moved it (around the time of the boat parade...). They are going to put it over toward the Strength. I'll put something up when it is firmed up.
