DIVING NUTZ

easyrider003 · 12-31-2007, 10:53 PM

Just wondering if there are any wrecks out there maybe in the gulf of mexico that were sunk by accident for whatever reason and not a wreck that was sunk on purpose? And also, how would a person go about finding where these wrecks might be at?

Where abouts in the gulf? I know there are a couple off the coast of panama city. Looking for artifacts?

easyrider003 · 12-31-2007, 11:27 PM

Yeah off the cost of Panama City. Not really looking for artifacts or anything just never been on a wreck and thought it might be kinda cool

I dont know If the "natural" wrecks are any better then the planned ones. Do you live close to PC? If so, most the dive shops in the region have a book called "Scuba Panama City". $8. Describes all the wrecks off the coast. VERY good information.

I know of 3 that are natural, may be more.

Tarpon
Commander
Leroy (not much left)

EDIT:

Ha, Sorry, didn't recognize your name for a second. Ya plannin a trip down here to PC? How'd you like Vortex?

I may get down there to P.C. later on this summer. Vortex was pretty cool. we also did morrison which I thought Visibility was much better there but much more to see at Vortex. Gonna be headed back to Vortex though on January 19th. Your welcome to join if interested

I might take you up on that.

Oh, there's a dive shop in PC that will do a boat dive with a min of 3 people, even in the winter. They have a website. Google "The Dive Locker". Good folks. Brand new boat... Nice alternative to Vortex. heh

We are trying to get together a night dive end of January. Ill shoot you a PM if things get set in stone.

O ok sounds good. Let me know the date and price. I will not be able to make it if I have got to work at the fd,but will try my best to make it though. If not this trip, if another is planned then let me know and maybe I will have some vacation time built up that I can take a day off.

easyrider003 · 01-01-2008, 11:56 PM

Also how would you go about finding information on something like the tarpon? Just google it i guess?

FishFood · 01-02-2008, 12:05 AM

I use Dive-Spots. GREAT website:

There are occasionally new wrecks... This one is not in the Gulf but it's new.
