Question about the Liberty ships off Matagorda

[Teknadv3x]

Has anyone got any Imfo if there is a dive charter that goes to the Liberty ships off Matagorda Texas? Here is the imfo on the ships themselves.

MATAGORDA,TEXAS LIBERTY SHIPS (3)
DWIGHT L.MOODY JIM BRIDGER GEORGE DEWEY

USING THE NAD27 DATUM. THE CENTER POINT OF THE REEF SITE WAS DETERMINED BY DGPS TO BE 26' O6' 57,832N AND 96' O5' 13.7O1' W(BLOCK 616). THIS POINT CAN BE REACHED BY SAILING 21 MILES ON A

From talking to the captain of the Sea Searcher II....

Vis is poor at best. There isn't much to see. There is a considerable amount of mono fishing line on the wrecks that create hazards.

You are probably better off trying a rig.

Hmmmm thats odd, I had a buddy who was on the Lasalle project in matagoprda and had access to a crew boat, on one of their off-days they went to the ships and he claims it was a happening dive. They are sitting in a 140 foot of water. which should sport some descent vis. If I find a charter I will probally take my chances.
