January 1998 The Jay Scutti was a combination of two wreck. One was a sail boat that was attached to a tug boat by a tow line. It looked as if the sunk exactly as the were towed.

January 2007 Dived with Pro Dive a good crew who go to a different wreck then a reef each day. The only problem is if the wind is from the Atlantic as this stirs up currents and can prevent the dive boat going out.

June 2003 I didn't think Florida would offer diving as great as some of the sites I had been to... but I was pleasantly surprised. There is a ship that was purposely sank years ago, and it is called the Sea Emperess. It formed the most amazing artificial reef when everything fell out of it as it sank. I saw huge moray eels, nurse sharks, sting rays, and countless fish. When I was there they were still doing sting ray feedings, so both the sting rays and the sharks were pretty friendly. I like getting up close to the big guys, so I found this dive to be very exciting!

June 2005 This site is next to wreck. Plenty to do on a dive and enjoy. Plus after the diving is done there are plenty of bars to have drink or two.

Diver reviews for Mercedes:
Mercedes is a large vessel so 2-3 dives are needed to see it all. It is also fairly deep at 32+ metres so time available isn't long
