Interesting and cool dive Did the Joe's Tug dive in June 2006. Joe's Tug is famous around Key West divers for it's location and its infamous backstory. You can see the wreck and story at my video documentary: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6463960296284954241&hl=en

A good second dive after the Cayman.... Dove the site on 8/17/2005 with Captain's Corner out of Key West. It was a fun dive with warm (86F) water, good vis and no current. The tug no longer looks anything like the picture, apparently broken-up by past storms. The bow is still intact after being driven into the coral, the stern is slightly raised and twisted, the remainder of the boat flattened. Lots of fish and coral. A very pleasant dive.

Fun little site Dive occured on 7/27-05. Great weather, poor vis. little current, lots of fish but no Goliath Group. A curious turtle hung around and of course several small barracuda. There are no balls on the surface marking this site. There is a submerged ball at 15 feet with a plastic milk jug tied to it floating on the surface. Lots of hard surface around the tug so OK to set an anchor too. This is a 1/2 to 1 tank dive so use the rest of your air on the Western Sambo's about a mile away. Lots of fish and neat finger coral formations. Most live coral we have seen in the Keys.
