Dove the Dykes today - the ocean was flat in the morning when we rolled out. Sunny and very little wind.
Dropped down and the viz was actually very good. About 12 to 15 foot viz - max depth was 62 feet - min temp was 48 degrees. The wreck itself was huge - I know it is a 300 foot schooner but the relief from the sand was at least 15 feet. Great wreck and we really on scratched the surface. I did not take any video - I did not think the viz was going to be as good as it was... my bad.
I would dive this wreck again in a heart beat - lots to see in terms of the wreck - did not see any blues, stripers or lobsters even though lobsters are not in season - I was curious.
Wind picked up a bit while we were down so we chose a close inland spot next - bah 2 foot viz - I am now spoiled...
Good time had by all.
