the USCG DUANE, once again, friday, 4/25/2014, photos,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[reefman]

planned on 2 dives @ the BLUE HOLE(a deep reef site abeam sand island, no mooring buoys), however viz on the outside reef tract this morning was dreadful, grungy green, maybe 30FT(low tide). we elected to cruise to deeper water (the duane, 1.2 NM southeast of molasses reef) in search of blue water and improved viz. we found it! bright sunshine, light NE winds, 1ft seas. double on buoy D2(smokestack, mid ships). barely noticeable reverse current, blue water, viz 50-70+(much less particulates/snot than yesterday and viz improved on today's 2nd dive), constant water temp 78F @ 60-100FT. schools of black groupers, grey/yellowtail snappers, permit, horseye jacks. wide angle captures courtesy of timg,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Wow that grouper looks cool. You've officially solidified my desire to buy a vacation spot in the keys.

reefman, the retirement comment was strictly tongue-in-cheek...probably just wishing I COULD retire and move down to Key Largo

Really good shots Tim. I especially love #9 & #11...interesting angle/perspective!

Good diving, Craig

Thank you CajunDiva. The nice thing about diving the wreck a lot is taking the time to look at it differently.
