Weekend of Wrecks on the H2O Below!!!

[DoItRite]

I don't care what the Groundhog said, I'm kicking winter to the curb and starting the Dive season off right this weekend! Saturday, we're running out to the Uss Oriskany. Sunday, we're doing an "offshore" trip, hitting up wrecks like the YDTs or Avocet! For those who have had the winter diving blues, this is the best chance to shake off the cobwebs with some of the best wreck diving in the world. I've got a handful of advanced students coming along, so if you have dives left, come on out! To get on either or both of the trips, either PM me or call MBT Divers 850.455.7702

DoItRite- great to see this posted... I actually just signed up with MBT Divers for the Oriskany trip Saturday! Man I am hoping the weather holds out... been checking sea conditions daily. Yesterday it looked like 1-3 foot seas
Today it's showing 3-5 foot seas :depressed:

But I'm crossing my fingers that we'll have a good day. Will be the last time I'm in Pensacola for a long while, so I'm hoping we get out there.

Any idea what temps and viz have been out at the Big O?

avocet, one of my favorite dive sites (some awesome spearfishing)

Right now Sunday is 3-5s and 1-3s on Saturdays. Vis was 60+ and temps were 68! I can't wait to get out and see the O again! It has been since November for me and I'm getting the itch. See you guys over the weekend!

BTW, this should probably be in the marketing section, not the main section.

Apologies, JViehe -- I thought I had put it in the trips section.

The H2O Below had a trip to the Oriskany today. Tech divers and they said the seas were 1 foot. They had a great day - lots of fish and a little current out of the south. Also the water temp is 65 - not to bad. I'm going tomorrow. Come on and let's go dive!

Man, that was a much needed weekend on the Gulf. The vis wasn't perfect (40-50' on the Orisknay -- 20-30' on the YDTs), but we had some great dives. Water temps were 62-65 degrees and PLENTY of fish on all of the sites we were on (so much for the "endangered red snapper!"). As always, thanks to the crew on the H2O Below as they made everyone right at home and even helped some new divers brave the cold and bumpy February waters.
