Diver's Notes

Signed up for this dive and the next two while at the Biscayne National Park Visitor Center. Aquatic Ops Diving was the Scuba Vender at that time. They happened to be chartering the boat and going out to a wreck for a double dip the next day (July 4). ****Huge Mistake*****

We made it to the wreck and before we could start the dive the Divemaster/Owner/Instructor got sea sick and puked all over the boat. I think all the divers smoking on the boat made him sick. Then he insisted we leave the wreck and go to a shallow reef. The seas were only 2-3 feet but he said many of the divers were new to diving. The boat captain was screaming profanities at him but we left the wreck and went to a shallow reef.

Visibility on the reef was 2-3 feet as should have been expected. The sand was stirred up. I practiced my navigation skills but the dive was pretty much a waste. I think it would have been fine on the wreck 60 feet down.

On a safety note: The bottom couple of steps on one of the ladders are missing. You do not know this until you try to reboard.
