Well for us driving from the metroplex the Clipper is only 25 miles closer than the Oriskany. I think I will pick the "O" instead because if it gets blown out at least I can make a few dives in the local springs.

I have blueprints , however the vessel is being modified as we speak. It is our intention to have a diver plan available. Note After she sinks there will be a 48 hour period before it is open for public diving. Has anyone in your group made a dive on the tug cora lee or the navy barge which is at another site south of the jetty's? The tug was sunk in August of 95, and we towed a tripod down from mansfield and put the tug next to it.

Hmmm...Troy mapped it on the Garmin GPS and it was only 25 more miles to Pensacola. Well I have been wrong before...Will clarify what route he used when we talk this weekend on the road to Iowa. I can't wait to have him all to myself!
Debraw:
I agree and that's why I made two trips to Pensacola last year. But you know as a diver that we long for NEW dive sites and new adventures, and for that we are willing to take that risk. E.g. many continue to book Feb. FG trips to see hammerheads knowing there is about a 75% chance of getting blown out.
Debraw:
I just ran the city/st. names on MapQuest....well both are on my list of dives!

It is in Texas waters. What better reason is needed to dive the Clipper? I feel if we don't support this site that is just more ammo against up not getting anymore. I will be pulling my boat down there as soon as I get a good forecaust. I am sure even if it is during the week that I will be able to get a 4 person crew to go.
