went 6/3/16. Viz wasn’t very good (10’?), which was unusual. However it was warm and the critters were there as usual.

dove at night this time - this was an EXCELLENT night dive - 3 octopus, lot’s of fish. Great formations starting to take hold. Turn off your lights and clap your hands for some biolumenesence that will make you nostalgic for the 60’s :^)

Good second dive. Went there last week with 2 buddies. Boat was the Wet Dream from Scuba Shack in Pensacola. Viz was only OK (30 feet?) There were lot’s of jellyfish at 10-20 feet, so wear protection even when it’s warm! This is a tale of 2 dives - you can go to the bottom and find different life than on top. I’d recommend spending most time on top, as there were octopi and several holes cut into the top which you could penetrate a few feet and still be in a cavern-like dive. Lot’s more life on the deck, but don’t miss the stem/stern, where larger fish will jostle for safety underneath

Never disappointed with the amount of marine life here.

This was my first boat dive. I went with Niuhi Dive Charters. The dive was a lot of fun and viz was excellent. Temp was tolerable w/o wetsuit.

It’s a good second dive for the day. Lots of welded placks on the wreck. There’s also a humongous Goliath Grouper living in the barge.

Neat to see all the signs from the local landscape and businesses. other than that it got rather boring real quick in comparison to other dives.

Neat dive. Barge has many metal sculptures on it that represent Pensacola and the local businesses. Lots of small marine life.

Cool to see a newly placed artificial reef. 1 day old - it is a baby!

Nice to see while the signs aren’t crusted over and are legible, give it a few months and there should be plenty of the bigger fish on it. Great as a 3rd dive for the day as closer to PNS Pass and shallow depth.

Watched it sink yesterday following 3rd dive of the day and it was 2nd dive today. Already has many small fish, bait ball and sand$$ on it. More signs to read than you can in one dive.
