The very first picture of a wreck (24 seconds in) looks very like the wreck off of Fantasy Island, Roatan. Or is it the one out at the Atolls?

Peter could you imagine being there with tourist divers, not a sight for the faint of heart.
SeaShell, the video is a little deceptive, Its a great video but the site is an ancient river bed under the bay and the mud, vis. and current are scary.
Were going to try again on a better day.
Peters right 140' down in a muddy bottom isn't a good time.

Peter,
Emiliano went back again, This time with Marty and the correct GPS coordinates and I'm rethinking this...They replaced the buoy.
This Wreck dive,if done with a lot of controls could be an advanced site.Divers like Wrecks so lets offer/develop a trip for the advanced Nitrox diver.
I would like to take you back this time and do this the same Wreck first, light lunch/surface interval and then Spanish wall as a second dive.
Lets work together in getting the correct Wreck diving attitude to the public. No artifact collecting.

140' wreck dive in the mud reminds me of learning to dive in the English Channel and Stoney Cove/Gilldeburgh many many years ago!!. First and last experience of dry suit diving in 2' vis Over 500 dives later I still have no desire to put on a dry suit ever again


So how were the vis and currents at the wreck?

I've had many conversations over the years with Rene and a number of the other guys at Amigos about doing the wreck.
They had said that we could arrange a special trip to the wreck but you have to go at exactly the right time otherwise the vis and currents make it a very advanced dive.

Make that "an impossible dive"!

There is a parallel with UK diving in that (unusually for Belize) this site appears to be heavily tidal. We need to establish at what point of the tide it becomes diveable and how long the window is open. This can probably only be determined by experience. So if for some reason we're on the way but know we'll get there too late then we should have an alternative deep dive somewhere in the area. I'm sure the walls nearby can offer that, but we need the expertise of a local who dives around there. Then either way we could do our afternoon dive at Spanish wall again.

Colin,
The guys at Amigos are right!
I'm trying to get my mind around being there with a tourist diver and Its difficult to imagine right now. Right now!
the low vis and deep mean you are traveling with out knowing how fast the current is moving you and with out a line attached you its like free falling through soup (no visual references and moving)
Lots of accent lines on the wreck create a problem its in the channel that cruse ships use, they pass right over. Probably why the line/buoy was gone.
I'm going again this week. interested in going?

Elbert
I'm not back in San Pedro until June 30th and then only for a week. We are back again in September for acoupe of weeks so maybe if the buoy is back and its perfect diving conditions then maybe I'll join you

I've got some video Jr. shot but haven't had any success with utube yet. I have never posted on utube may be today if its slow at the dive shop.

Elbert, I was talking about the picture of a rusted wreck, partially above the water line.

Be that as it may, as a "tourist" diver, I've been diving a number of different wrecks here and there, many were reasonably advanced dives, currents, deep, dark and mucky, etc. All that said, I actually don't like wreck diving, even in ideal conditions, as opposed to many of my guy diving buddies. My preference is to see coral and other natural formations, creatures of the sea, big and small.
