May 25 trip to the Oil Wreck on the Indendence II

Sunday’s trip was an open boat to the Oil Wreck.  As one of the mud hole wrecks, the conditions can vary radically, and are often challenging. Inflatable Water Slide Today an intrepid group of divers gathered for the trip aboard the Independence II.   We headed out under ideal conditions on lake Atlantic.  There was just enough breeze to keep from overheating while gearing up, but not enough to produce any significant wave action.
The conditions were ideal with 45 deg on the bottom, 48 on deco, and 55 on the surface.  Vis varied from 5 ft at the surface to 50 ft below 50 ft, and 10-20 ft  on the wreck.  With these conditions it was a great day of diving.  We tied in by the aft mast, next to the gun tub.   Everyone reported having a great dive under these conditions.
