Why Dive "New" Wrecks?

Capping a 14 year journey including several delays, a successful arrival , the USS Vandenberg now rests proudly in 150ft of deep blue water 6 miles off Key West Florida!

PATRIOT Scuba has planned a trip to the Florida Keys 15 thru 19 January 2010 to dive various locations and wrecks. USS VANDENBERG is the Newest Wreck we plan to dive on that trip.

Why dive "New" Wrecks - 1. They are new (duh?) 2. Creatures (namely Octopus) rush to occupy them 3. They are most intact!

Whadaya Think?

The End of Diving Season...NOT!

Hey all,

What's this I hear that Diving Season is coming to an end as winter approaches??? What, are you kidding me?

Plenty of Wetsuit diving left until the beginning of Dry Suit Season. So there is no reason to mourn the end of the season as it is just a "change of clothes"...3mm to 7mm or wet to dry!

What is a PATRIOT DIVER?

What makes a PATRIOT Diver? I'd like to think that all divers are, or can be a PATRIOT Divers. But we hope that every Diver we meet will be a PATRIOT Diver by the time we part ways.

My Definition: A PATRIOT Diver is someone who loves diving and the aquatic world, is friendly, helpful and a good buddy. A PATRIOT Diver is a safe diver, always looking to improve, learn and experience new things.

Are you a Patriot Diver? What do you think a PATRIOT Diver should be?
