Wreck of the iberia video - squalus marine divers

[squalus357]

Just a short video of our dive on The Iberia. Had a great dive with The Seahawk out of Freeport NY. We just did a quick dive on the aft section in this video. We will have the forward section dive up soon.
Hope you enjoy it.

If you are stuck up here in the northeast. The Seahawk is a great dive boat. It was a little over an hour drive from Bridgeport. We left at 4AM to be there for 5:30am and got there at 5:15. If you wanna check out some cool spots...The Seahawk is a great option!

The fish with the long side feelers is a red hake, sometimes called a squirrel hake. In the Gloucester area, a little fish called "mud hake" is often seen by divers shucking sea scallops. The little fish take cover inside the opened scallop shell when they see a diver coming. I think those mud hake might be juvenile red hake.

I've seen a red hake measuring about 8" at Ft. Wetherill, and if I recall correctly, a similar sized one off of Stonington Point.

Here is the second video from that dive. We went down and dove the forward section. LOTS of eel. A few big ones down there too.
