The crew lined up on the pier, awaiting the ok to make scramble aboard the boat.

When sea conditions were rough, this had to happen fast as the boat was bouncing off the dock and hitting bottom!

This is the dive site "Ghost Mountain" - not exactly a mountain, but it is a pretty cool pinnacle that is set off a short distance from the wall.

A view of the stern of the Carrie Lee. This is the shallowest part of the wreck at ~170 feet. The mooring is tied in here.

 

 

Dave and Peter poke around the wreck.  We timed the dive have reached the shallowest portion of the wreck by 25 minutes run time.

This slotted us in for a little over 2 hours of decompression!

 

 

Scott, Roman and Peter come through the alley and down the wall at Tarpon Alley.

 

 

Dave Caldwell enjoys the deep blue water and breathtaking walls.

 

 

Dave takes a turn with the camera and snaps a photo of Heather.

 

 

Peter Piemonte swims along a deeper portion of the wall. This particular area was like a lunar surface!  Pretty cool.

 

 

Looking up the wall - the visibility was amazing.

 

 

The best shot we could get of a Hammerhead Shark. This is as close as it came before it cruised away.

 

 

Dave captures this landmark moment... Heather dives a rEvo and Peter dives a PRISM!!!
