Diver's Notes

Fun dive, we could have explored the broken down wreck for longer! Accessed the site through Pompano Dive Center and Odyssey Charters with a very fun and helpful crew. It was a rainy morning, but the visibility was pretty good, and swells weren't too big. The wreck covers a good amount of area and was used for target practice in World War II (I was told you could still find bullet shells lying around but I didn't see any). Saw lots of colorful mid-sized and small fish, corals, sponges, spiny lobsters, a moray (we think) eel, and a goliath grouper (which is apparently rare for this wreck).
