4 Wrecks in one dive ...One of the coolest dives we did was on a circular (ish) reef that has (at least) 4 wrecks that have fetched up, all in recreational depths.The Zodiac drops you off at the furthest wreck (of which not a whole lot is left), and if you are canny, you can easily scooter back toward the boat, taking in all 4 wrecks before ending up back at the swimstep. And if you run out of juice or get slightly off course -- no matter, one of the circling Zodiacs will be over to fetch you. Riding out on the Zodiacs is a bit of a PITA in doubles, scooter & camera (although not as bad as also carrying 2 stages) but a necessity when diving off of such a big boat and on such crowded reefs (upwards of 6 100 foot+ boats anchored up in whats supposed to be the "off" season) Kim on the 1st Wreck  Scootering from the 1st wreck (forgot its name) toward the wreck of the Marcus...  Divers approaching the Marcus  Monsieur Huber hovering over the prop of the Marcus  Zoom on the prop  Scootering along the side of the Marcus (just past where the prop has ended up)  Some kind of blue-spotted ray we almost ran over on the way .... these things are cool.  Crazy Ivan (Olga) in "Devil ears" hood on the Marcus  The Ghanis D (I think)  Chris Gini (and I think Kathy behind) scootering the Ghanis D  Ari (I think) scootering the Ghanis D  Scootering toward the final wreck ...
