    It seems like the value of artificial reefs is being recognized. Orange Beach is a nice place and you can almost see Florida from there LOL. This will give Florida Panhandle divers another option.

    Local governments are realizing the value of dive tourism and are investing. It’s good news for us divers.

    There was an article earlier this year about a group of volunteer divers assisting with this project. It’s nice to see they were successful.

    We got a report today that the Castor wreck off Boynton Beach has been affected by hurricane Sandy. The stern section has been turned on it’s starboard side.

    A few of us are thinking of planning a Mohawk dive on October 28th. Anybody interested let me know. If we get enough people we can charter the whole boat.

    It’s good that local governments are realizing the value of artificial reef programs like this. Hopefully it will lead to more investments elsewhere.

    This is a Florida Company. They’re best known for the wreck that Spain claimed all the treasure from recently but they’re doing other amazing things.

    Hey wreck divers! If you ever wanted to get involved in something and get your voice heard this would be a good one. Making these people aware of the multitude of benefits of artificial reef programs might sway them.
