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.
