Subject: Re: Dive Boat Reportedly Sank Off Ft. Lauderdale
the local paper reported that The Gulf Stream II sank about a mile
offshore of Riviera Beach, just north of Palm Beach, Fl. on sunday,
1/26/97.  No one was injured.  Coast guard was alerted to the sinking by
other boaters in the area who had picked up nearly all of the divers by
the time a Coast Guard crew arrived at 10 a.m.
The boat, which sank in water 80 to 100 feet deep, had not been raised
by late Sunday, so any investigation into what when wrong is still
pending.
I dove with this operation twice.  I was unimpressed with the apparent
casualness with which they ran their operation i.e., not sticking
anywhere close to departure times, crowding etc.
