lougump67 - 11/22/2021 3:58 PM Dove here on 11/21/2021 with ScubaTech of Destin. We saw two large stingrays, barracuda, a large school of amberjack, and several mangrove snappers. Some of the people on our dive boat saw a goliath grouper and one person caught a lobster. Due to the size of the wreck, we didn’t see the entire ship. Diving the Thomas Heyward Liberty Ship

Skeptic14 - 11/08/2016 8:56 AM I went scuba diving here on 11/3/2016. Average viz: 41-50ft/12-15m. Water temp: 76-80°F/24-27°C. Big goliath hangs out about mid wreck, loggerhead, and usual fish of course. Both dives I’ve done here there has been a dusky/sandbar cruise by along outside of the wreck a few times.

Bighouse72 - 7/11/2016 2:23 PM I dove off the Sea Cobra with ScubaTech NWFL. Great crew treated us great. On the wreck we were treated with about 60ft vis and temps in the low 70s. TONS of fish and one very large Goliath Grouper. Ship is just a skeleton now of what it used to be with just the hull standing.
