Subject: Re: Our experiences with "shallow" deep air pt 1
John, we have this ledge that we dive for lobsters, and we always found
it by dropping on a wreck and then going off the bow. Well, Huricane
Andrew moved the wreck, so it is now sitting right on the ledge, but we
did nto know that, and scooterd around for ten minutes on nitrox until
we actually found another ledge which seemed way away from the wreck. 

 Then we went back with trimix and the rebreathers, and still went off
the bow, but found it right away and found that the spot we had
"discovered" was one little section in the whole ledge that had been
right there all along, and was in fact the top of a collapsed cavern in
140 feet of water. We went back again and drifted into it since there
was a boat on it , only the vis was crytal, and we stayed high due to
the fact that we were on scuba, and just wanted to take a few photos and
then scooter to the reef, and we discovered, by looking down from 70
feet, the the wreck sits on the ledge, and what we could to find was in
our face all along.
