Bentek Ar Pen


Bentek Ar Pen

The Miami Project did some scooter dives in late August after Datrina. We hit the Bentek Ar pen, St. Henry, Tortuga, and Atlas Recycling Barge.

The Thursday night before we did a Barracuda night feeding dive. The surface was boiling over the Princess Britney as we geared up. On the way down Cuda, Jacks, and Tarpon were feeding on baitfish balls around the wreck.

Silve flashes off my HID in all directions. It was the highest anxiety dive I've done since my first tech dive after class!

We scootered to the Parasio and had to stop several times for freight trains of fish crossing in front of us. The thermocline of 82 and 70 degree water really mess up the vis.

We swam through the Parasio and I've never felt so safe inside a wreck!

After 32 minutes I was just as ready of Jody to thumb the dive.

On our safety stop 20 squid swarmed our lights and would "ink" us as we moved to check our guages. It was a crazy dive.
