Tenneco Oil Rigs

The oil rigs are known locally as Tenneco Towers. They were sunk at their current location in October, 1985. The oil rigs were originally used in the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas exploration. Tenneco Oil Co. brought the towers by barge around the Florida Keys and placed them at their present site. Hurricane's have move them apart and into deeper water. The area consists of 3 sites: West Tenneco at 105' depth, relief of approx. 35', Middle Tenneco at 115' depth, approx. 35' of relief and Deep Tenneco at a depth of 185' and 205', 2 towers separated east to west 100' with approx. 60' of relief. We'll be diving on the tower at 185'.
