billsoccer - 9/27/2015 5:50 PM Rating Added: 4 Dove there 9/25/15 with Scuba Shack out of Pensacola. Enough of the wreck exists to supply a lot of habitat. My 2 dive buddies and I got separated several times from each other by horizon-to-horizon fish, even though just feet apart! In addition a juvenile grouper (100 lbs?) and a few barracuda made appearances. Viz good 40-100’. A nice easy dive, as there was no current at depth (70’).
