Went out to the Oriskany Sunday. Great conditions, 2 foot seas, 73 degree water temperature and GREAT visibility. I saw all the usual critters. And, for the first time, I saw coronet fish. I have seen them in the Caribbean, but this is the first time in the Gulf. It seems the fish are getting bigger, a lot of big grouper and amberjack.
The first dive I had a little trouble clearing my right ear. But, the second dive no problems. At about 15' I could see the wreck, so I dumped the air and free fell to the exhaust stack. What a cool view! It was like a free falling onto the top of a sky scraper. One of my most memorable diving moments to date.
Yea, the flight deck is lower, my max depth on my first dive was 131. Could not touch the deck, but, I could count the rivets. Even so, it is an incredible dive!
