| Trip Report: Florida S.C.R.U.B.'s Triple Wreck Trip - 05/11/2008
On Sunday, May 11th, 2006 the Florida S.C.R.U.B.'s again boarded Scubatyme for an afternoon of great rebreather diving. The weekend before, we had been out on the same boat and dove one long dive on the Wreck of the Scutty, Tracy and Mercy Jesus. Well, everyone enjoyed that dive so much, that a decision was made to repeat the same dive; however, this time, both topside and below the surface conditions were even better than the prior week!
This week, we had a very strong showing from the South Florida Optima Army - We had 8 Optimas, 1 Meg and 1 Sentinel on this trip, plus a couple of fine open circuit divers!
I'm not going to write much about the dive, because last week's trip report of the same dive essentially sums up the details. I also didn't take too many topside photos, because I decided to concentrate on underwater shots, as these wrecks have tons of little critters to see, and today was certanly no exception! Consequently, here's a few shots I'm happy to share, so you can get an idea of what I saw during my 3 hour and 7 minute dive in approximately 70 feet of water on the Wrecks of the Scutty/Tracy/Mercy Jesus - You heard my right...3 hours and 7 minutes, and it was awesome!!!!
