Arrow VIDEO - Wrecks of the Tracy & Jay Scutti

Headed off Ft. Lauderdale to scooter free dive on the wrecks of the Tracy and Scutti with the good folks at http://www.southfloridadiving.com/ . Viz. was poor at about 30 ft. with about 1 mph of current running south. Still, the GoPro Wide captured some unusual video.









The Tracy before it was sunk in 1998

My ears when I could manage it. I was carrying three cameras, two in my hands and one in a chest mount. Hard to grab your nose carrying all the stuff.

Just added another clip in the original post. This one running across the bottom at 70 ft. and up, over the bow and down the length of the vessel aft.

Here is a short clip of the Jay Scutti, a harbor tug. It was several hundred feet south of the Tracy, there was a boat tied off to it initially. Went forward along the boats mooring line and dropped on the Scutti. Trouble was in the poor viz. I didn't realize the boat had slipped its mooring after I dropped. Took me a second back on the surface to realize my landmark had drifted off station. Went updrift and dropped to try to find it again but no joy. Did find a small wooden sailboat on the bottom though.
