Dive the Mighty USS Oriskany Air Craft Carrier.
2 nights, 2 dives.
Please note: It takes about 9 hours to get to Pensacola Florida with the Oriskany dives being an all day event. Advanced Diver rated (over 60 ft) All divers must have a minimum of 20 dives with the last 2 being within the last 12 months Log books required All divers will be required to have an Alternate Air Source, Surface Marker Bouy (Safety Sausage), Whistle and gloves If you have any questions, please email info@sealevelscuba.com or call 321-255-1825 The Mighty-O is sitting upright and facing south (confirmed). The depths are pretty nicely laid out, The island sits around 70 feet , f light deck is 130, hangar deck is 150 with alot of nice overhead stuff, and the SAND is 212 (confirmed). We would most likely extend our dives right to our air/no-deco limits and beyond if you so like with a second dive done elsewhere possibly to just spending time enjoying the ocean, spear-fishing, photography or whatever else you like to do beneath the sea. This dive does not have to be a technical dive, there is plenty to see above 100 feet. Note corrected date of Sept 16-17 |
