Got out to the Pinta (85 fsw) Saturday and the Immaculata (100fsw) today. Great dives and weather both days from the Independence II. Visibility in the 30 foot range on both wrecks with bottom temps around 46F. Blew out my wrist seal on the Pinta so just dropped into the hold and played around with some ambient light shots before calling it short. This was my first time on the Immaculata and it's a great wreck. Bugs and bottles everywhere. Lots of both came up, including some other odds and ends like a nice antique beer stein.

that is a great shot!!!!- i was always told the Immaculata was covered in silt, is all that concretion old junk? - how big is it? - is the bottom real fine silt?

The bottom is rather silty at the Immaculata.

Last time I was there at one end of the wreck there was a large fishing net trapping & killing things. Is it still there??

Saw one of the biggest monkfish on the Imac that I have ever seen (before or since). It was a MONSTER!

And bottles....lots of bottles.

Hey Brandon,
Great photo...but why does that guy (Mark) have 2 bailout bottles on the Immac?? Isn't it only 95 ft deep? Seems like over kill to me unless he did a 4 hr bottom time
JUST KIDDING...what a great day on the ocean!
If Jersey would stays like this we would have hundreds of dive boats going out ever weekend.
