Scuba by Steve Field Scuba Club Member The Bchrcnd Scuba Club went to Florida over Spring Break, diving in the Florida Springs area and then moving to Key Largo for the remainder of the break. The club left immediately after clasgeg Friday and drove through the night to Gainsvillc, Florida. They set up camp and started their diving in the Ichtucknee River where many freshwater fish were observed. Sunday the divers went to Crystal River to dive in King Springs. Unfortunately, the manatees were back in the remote areas and there was only a few at the dive site. Monday the club went back to the river since high water had flooded some of the clearer springs. This dive proved its worth, as the club found many fossils of animals that had once inhabited that area. The club then drove to Key Largo where they met at the Florida Keys Dive Center. Here they loaded the boat with their dive gear and went out to sea to Pennecamp, an underwater National Park. The water was calm and the members needed little urging to get in. Large sea fans and barrel sponges dotted the ocean bottom. Large barracuda and many multi-colored fish swam with the divers. Many on the club's members petted the local lobsters during the first night dive on Tuesday. Wednesday, club members drove to the Duane. This 327 ft. Coast Guard Cutter was sunk for its final duty as an artificial reef in Nov. 1987. The ship is resting in 110 ft. of water, so the divers had to be very careful about time spent on the ship. After the Duane, a second dive was made in shallow water 'arming. reef. This small reef had many types -of marine life on it. That night, the last dive was made, with the divers petting the lobsters again and getting rides from a giant sea turtle. Thursday was a beach day with only six divers making the morning dive. This dive was on the outside of the protective reef and was very beautiful. Lobsters were liberated from the depths for a shore lunch. The final dives were made on the Conch Wall and Little Fingers Reefs. The following members made the trip: Dive Masters Mike Gannon , Steve Fields, and Sheryl Prassack; Paul Douglas, J.B. Hennessy, Scott Schlentner (Rescue Diver); Advanced Divers James Gavrilis and John Shaw; and opens water certified divers Larry Witte,. Mike MacDonald, Keith Massing, and Cam Jiuligante. The club returned Saturday night' at 6 p.m. and spent Sunday getting ready for Monday's classes. The club meets on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. in the ROTC Office for anyone interested in scuba.
