I did a solo dive yesterday over one of our new local wrecks, the Anna Cecilia which is downstream of several other older wrecks. This was my first scuba dive on this wreck and I took a look around went inside and even picked up a fish for dinner.
For this video, I pretty much let the camera run, so it is more of a survey of the wrecks. The video progresses exactly in the sequence it occurred. Might be interesting to someone who might want to get a good overview of what it looks like to drift over the wrecks. They are aligned in a north/south direction, so you can ride the current from the south to the north.
Today we had very nice visibility, 73 degree water (cold !!!) and a mild north current.
The dive progresses from the Anna C then over some sand (which I skipped) to the Mitzpah (which is really like three wrecks in one area) .. then onto a linear boulder ridge to the Amaryllis (where I found a brand new anchor) then I think there are more Rocks, then we get to a 100 ft barge, then some sand and then over a wide and pretty long debris field of concrete and rocks/boulders.
I didn’t ask the captain how long the dive is, but I would guess it might be on the order of ½ mile.. a pretty good swim. I think 100% of the structure is either wreck or man-made artificial reef.
Sorry if the video is too long and not so exciting, - there was not many fish around and I am tired of shooting video of catching lobsters (we caught a bunch of the second dive).
Some of the rooms in the new wreck the Anna c. were darker than I expected – for a new “safe” artificial reef.
