Technical Dive Sites
There
is a small community of technical divers that visit ship wrecks at depths
beyond recreational dive limits. Because of the difficulties involved, locations
of these wrecks are often misrepresented. Download this GPS map for some
of the most accurate data available for the "deeper stuff."
Special thanks to Mark Zurl for contributing this data and photo. Mark adds these comments to those who would venture forth:
"I have collected this data from various sources and find it to be highly accurate. The coordinates were acquired at the actual site by reliable equipment, not calculated from older LORAN or obtained from unreliable sources. There are some wrecks whose location I will not publish, but I think the ones below are fair game. These coordinates are published for informational purposes only. I am NOT promoting them as dive sites, nor should they be dove by anyone without the proper training, equipment, and experience to do so" - Mark Zurl

You
won't find the deeper stuff in Ned
DeLoach's Diving Guide to Underwater Florida* but it's a good one
for the recreational diver to have on the shelf.
