Headed out from garys gulf divers about 8:15 or so ,went & launched the boat & hit the wallace liberity ship at about 10:00.Me & John splashed with our spearguns & decended to 98', where we both shot 2 sheepshead (around 4lbs each).Then navigating west where the ship splits we went inside the hull swimming to the end of the stern, we then swam over the hull where we encountered a nice 8" lemon shark who seemed pretty playfull. We wanted to stay & play around with it but low air did not permit us to. But on our accent he was still close by.

Back aboard Gary & Neal were ready to splash on the same site.Not much luck finding the shark but a nice dive.

Our second dive was on atlantis about 90', viz was'nt so great, lots of red snapper,spade fish,& some huge redfish, but we came aboard emtey handed.

Gary & Neal splashed on the 3 mile bardge, where the viz even worse.

later that evening sitting by the fire with some beer & cooking fresh fish on an open fire talking about another great dive aboard the CAT-N-AROUND.
 
Thanks for the report!

What kinda temps were you guys seeing?
 
Thanks for the report Tim, the Wallace is my favorite of the liberty ships in the area.
