"Home of the BLUE ANGELS"
Pensacola offers lots of diving
opportunities along with the "Mighty O". Lots of wrecks and artificial
reefs are located close to Pensacola Bay. Even some sites are
accessible from the beach like 19th century wrecks, natural structure,
and artificial reefs.
Pensacola is home to the largest
artificial reef, the Aircraft Carrier USS Oriskany, intentionally sunk
in 2006 twenty two miles off shore . The Super Structure is accessible
to recreational divers starting at a depth of 85ft. The flight deck is
at 140ft with the ship sitting in 210ft of water.
Just a few of the wrecks found here
are the Russian Freighter, Navy YDT's, Sylvia, Catherine, USS
Massachusetts, Tug Heron, Antares, and the Avocet just to name a few.
You can dive artificial reefs made up with oil rigs, radio towers,
tanks, and all kinds of interesting things, you even find a great
selection of aircraft out there.
We plan on
diving here later in the Year (September or October). Which will
include a trip out to the "Mighty O", and several other sites. Anybody
interest contact the shop and let us know you want to go.
