Your Interritus Instructors decided the best way to spend an un-booked Spring Break was to do what all the college kids do: head to the shore. We contacted Pensacola's MBT (Maximum Bottom Time) Dive Shop and booked passage on the Stacie Nicole, Emerald Ocean Dive Charter's dive boat, to dive the Great Carrier Reef, The Mighty "O", the largest vessel ever sunk for a reef program...the USS Oriskany (C-34)!

After some interestingly rough-ish seas heading straight into the wind out of Pensacola, Captain David Forrester and Dive Master Jason brought us safely to our dive site, where the winds died and the seas calmed.

After which, we suited up and bailed out of the boat and shot this video over the course of two dives to the upper portion of the superstructure.

While we were slightly heavy and adjusting to the extra exposure protection we don't normally need in Texas (ScubaPro 5mm full suits), we still managed to get a good look at the upper portion of the Island as well as the famous US Ensign and POW/MIA flags flown from the yard of the superstructure.
