I used to dive the Russian Freighter (The San Pablo) it was hit by a U-Boat and ultimately sunk 10 miles south of the Pensacola Pass. Nice dive lots of sea life.

I dove the Russian freighter a couple of times. Back then there were also a lot of Air planes to dive on. Very crude diving equipment compared to today's Gear. I used to work for Keenan welding supply and we were a distributor for US Divers stuff. Twin Hose was the rage back then.. I had a set of small 38s that I liked to used. No license required. Just go diving. I liked to use a "Pole gun" or a "Hawaiian Sling"..Never went over a 100 feet 90 was about my limit.....Lots of fun.. I never got back into it after I came back home from the Army.

I never liked diving deeper than 100 feet. I never could understand why the put the carrier so deep. If they could have put it at 100 feet, people would be coming from all over the country. It is a specialty dive.
