Missdirected:
Supposed to be the best around here. 80 foot extreme bottom. 45 ft to the pilot house. Anyway, he wants to do some ledges and has 8 peeps confirmed so far. So let me know who is in. Again $70.
Ok, I called Lighthouse to see what was available Saturday.
All that is left for diving now:
Six spots for 1:00 PM dive (get to sleep in... leave at 8:00AM)
First dive:

Ancient Mariner
This Coast Guard cutter was built in the 1930s and was originally known as the Nemesis, after the Greek goddess of vengeance. During WWII, she was used as a sub-chaser and a convoy escort. She was decommissioned in 1964 and sold to several firms before being remodeled to resemble an African steamer and becoming Fort Lauderdales first floating restaurant The ship/restaurant sank in 1981, was raised, remodeled, and renamed several times before finally being purchased by a Hollywood dive club and donated to the artificial reef program.
The Ancient Mariner was sunk in 70 feet of depth in 1991 to help in the formation of an artificial reef. She stretches 165 feet in length and lies in a depth range of
45 to 70 feet. Because of the several remodelings and the destruction caused by Hurricane Andrew, this ship offers
opportunities for penetration at almost all levels. This dive is especially worthwhile for those interested in exploring the interior of this vessel.

I dove it last month. It is an excellent dive and really does offer penetration at all levels of skill and easily discernable.
2nd Dive:
Abby Too Ledge - Easy drift with great hills, valleys and ledges 45-60 ft depending on the side you dive
Best of all - Cost is $45.00, I'm willing to drive :14:
=====
I will do either coast.
Just let me know where everyone wants to go (and soon if it's Pompano... boat is filling up fast)
