So many of you have been asking me to record a wreck dive in full. Well today, off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, the conditions were perfect! So I did!
Dive specs:
Lady Luck Wreck (former casino ship).
140 feet max depth
Total dive time 114 minutes
Average depth 79 feet
Average water temp 76F
Max total time to surface 45 minutes including deco.
Dive lead by Raymond of Wonderlost Scuba.
Filmed by Woody entirely on my iPhone 14 pro max using OrcaTorch lights and a DiveVolk SeaTouch 4 Max case (not too bad for a amateur photographer like myself).
Woody was on Kiss Spirit Rebreather.
Raymond was on a Prism Hollis Rebreather.
Current was about 2.5 knots South to North (it was ripping on the way down so we absolutely did NOT let go of the down line).
We went through every deck, engine room, bridge, bathrooms, kitchen, hallways, exterior decks, to the props, saw bull Sharks, Barracudas and MUCH more.
This almost a two hour dive condensed down here to about a 25 minute video.
Thank you Raymond for leading me on a wonderful closed circuit rebreather dive on a perfect, warm, sunny day here in the amazing Gulf Stream of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
P.S. Gus and I just happened to both be diving today but in different places because I’m just working in South Florida right now. He had a pretty epic and special dive today as well which he will show you all also. Stay tuned! He and I will be back filming together as usual in a few weeks. Can’t wait!
As a reminder, this wreck, (former gambling casino ship), was sunk on purpose. The City of Ft. Lauderdale purchased it (among many others the city has bought and sank), to sink it so it could become a marine life sanctuary habitat (which it absolutely has done).
