Seaside Crane barge

Type:
shipwreck, barge
Specs:
( 250 ft ? )
Depth:
85 ft
compass

A very large intact steel deck barge, lying upright, north-south. The southern end is partially collapsed and opened up, allowing easy access to at least part of the inside. Rust holes in the deck let light in throughout the rest of the interior, although they are too small to fit through. A great spearfishing site, and not bad for lobsters. The crane lies about 1/4 mile away.

  • o-rings for your tank valves and regs, and anything else that uses them
  • wire ties, large and small, lots of 'em
  • spare straps & buckles for mask, fins, snorkel, and knife
  • spare regulator mouthpiece & wire tie
  • a few feet of wreck reel line and surgical tubing
  • duct tape ( squeeze a small roll flat to save space )
  • silicone grease or O2 lube
  • extra batteries and bulbs for all your lights, computers, and camera
  • spare lanyards and brass snaps
  • stainless steel dive tool with wrenches, allens, and screw drivers ( pictured above )
  • stainless steel folding multi-tool with pliers, blades, and wire cutter
  • glues and sealants - neoprene cement, AquaSeal, Crazy Glue
  • bicycle tire patch kit - for small suit repairs
  • soap, powder and wax for drysuit if necessary
