While you're imagining, give the two from Harbor Branch a moment of silence. Caught in one of those cables you were ducking, unfortunately for them, and died within sight of the gun barrels. Not too romantic while you're freezing to death, I'm afraid.
I've loosely followed the artificial reef thing up here but never realised
you guys had one in Key Largo. A psub is absolutely necessary to dive this
thing: over 500 feet long? In clear water? Wow . . .
You do realise, of course, I now have one more compelling reason to build my
sub.
I helped "de-complicate" the HMCS Chaudiere, a local artificial reef, -
pulling electrical wires, etc.
The SpiegelGrove, and other wrecks, would be an absolute treat for psubbers,
given that the vis in some of these waters is excellent. I can imagine
skimming over the superstructures (ducking cables, booms, gun barrels . .
. )
Has anyone dived this wreck from the PSUBS group? In a sub?
