ELECTRIC BLUE FISHING CHARTERS
USA DIVING-JOHNS PASS-GULF OF MEXICO
|
We do charter our vessel out for specialist wreck diving. We do not hire diving equipment nor do we have facilities for air or nitrox. We just charter you the vessel. For those who know me, you will realize that I am not a diver but a an avid sports wreck fisherman and wreck hunter. But as some of you may know my brother, his son and my nephew are very experienced commercial saturation divers, so I am aware of the many hazards that sports diver will encounter.
I should also mention that Florida has the three of the largest wrecks in the world sunk intentionally for sport diving. The USS ORISKANY pictured below at 32,000 tons and deployed on the 17th May 2006. This lies in the Gulf of Mexico 24 miles of Pensacola Beach.
We also have the SPIEGEL GROVE pictured below at 6880 tons which can dived off Islamorada in the Florida Keyes.
USAFS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg Captain Tony Allen has an extensive list of WRECK DIVE SITES in the Florida & Gulf of Mexico area and is currently searching for new wrecks using a magnetometer and side scan sonar. He is well known for his wreck knowledge of the English Channel and of the many new wreck locations he forwarded to the Hydrographic Department at Taunton. These can be seen on many Hydrographic printouts.A Database of WRECKS and additional information for Scuba Divers can be found at the following UK WEBSITE. It's excellent and has information for all over the world. Click on the Diver to take you to the site.
Probably the best site for wreck information is now www.thewrecksite.com Please contribute so others may enjoy what is currently unknown wreck information to them.
