Argon
Mikey and Joe do their best Hans and Franz impression as

Wreck
After getting all geared up we hit the water for our
night dive. There wasn't a whole lot of difference in the amount of
light that reached the bottom.
|
 |
Stairs
I follow a set of stairs into the wreck. Actually, most
of the wreck has collapsed around the staircase.
|
 |
Inside
Tami and I explore inside the Andrea Doria.
|
 |
Gauge
This looks like a gauge that is heavily grown over.
|
 |
Anemone
Sea anemone blanket the wreck and open up at night to
feed.
|
 |
Signal
My buddy signals to me during the dive.
|
 |
Lines
We ran several lines along the top of the wreck in order
to be able to find our way back to the anchor line. We really didn't
want anyone getting lost on these dives.
|
 |
Diver
A diver emerges from the depths of the Doria back up to
the port side. The wreck lies over on her starboard side.
|
 |
Superstructure
Several fish dart in and out of the superstructure of
the wreck.
|
 |
Opening
An opening in the side of the wreck, actually the top,
gives a little view inside.
|
 |
Window
I think this is some sort of window.
|
 |
Anchor
An old anchor abandoned on a previous dive long ago lays
on top of the wreck. It is heavily grown over.
