July 2007 Nice wreck to dive although the majority of it has bronen up and disappeared over time.

July 2007 Navy minesweepers are located at about 70 feet just a short boat trip from CPT. Anderson's marina. We dove on a boat called with Mac Daddy with Captain John and deckhand Kelly. Super people. These two ship are sunk close together for ease in traversing from one to the other. Lots of Jellies in the water on the 7th of July. Great dive and ships are safe for entry without wreck certification.
