Look out!!! Great dive site!!! Spear fisherman BEWARE!! Shes home to a BIG jew fish who loves to steal whatever you shoot. And it loves taking you for a ride so hold on to your spear guns. ALSO!!! 2 Bulls love to hang out there and enjoy the easy catch as well. Lost 2 spears to sharks biteing the line and the end of the speargun!! Becareful but have fun!!!

Pretty good "wow" factor for the gulf Dropped in a bit off to the North...The big bow coming out of the gloom was a pretty cool rush. The boats in great shape and there's a ton of stuff to do...fish galore, re-stock your tackle box, lot's of holes to peek in. Dive it!

Good wreck with lots of marine life First time to this wreck and came eye to eye with a Jewfish that went every bit of 600 lbs. and 8' from lips to tail. Lots of Jacks, assorted Snapper, Grouper, Sheephead, etc. Wreck is in good shape with some growth, but beware of the lost fishing lines and lures...lots of them.

Nighttime on the Chippewa If you want a real rush, dive the Chippewa at night, go to the stern rail, cover your dive light and watch the others going over the wreck. It's just like being in outer space.

Big wreck with lots of sea life. If you enjoy spearfishing, this is a pretty good one, depending on the season. Sharks can be seen at times, as well as sea turtles, and other creatures of the sea. Overall it's a great dive.
