ATTENTION DIVERS!!! - You MUST have a dive watch or computer, a dive knife or tool and a snorkel on your person to dive on our charter.  You need the timing device to plan your dive and to time your dive at depth to avoid DCS.  You need a dive knife or tool to cut through the monofiliment fishing line that is endemic to the wrecks off of our coast.  Should you come up away from the boat without air in your tank, a snorkel is necessary to protect your airway.  Should you need either, we have both for sale in our shop and computer rentals are $20.00 each.

THE ANCHOR WRECK   This incredible 300ft freighter of unknown origin lies in 105ft of water.    As a natural wreck, rather than one intentionally scuttled to create an artificial reef system, this site is a favorite of many divers.   Low profile provides good visibility over the entire wreck. Outlying wreckage provides interesting photo opportunities. Tropicals and large pelagic species are year-round inhabitants. This wreck dates back from the late 1800's to early 1900's.
