Nice finds on the Harry Rush diving aboard the Dina Dee II

This weekend I broke away from what has been my weekend ritual of teaching and demos at Dutch. Packing my KISS GEM I headed down the shore to dive the Diana Dee II. The crew had taken time out of their holiday schedule to find the Harry Rush. A great job that paid off for their customers.
With the GEM I was able to dive to 90ft for a combined dive time of three hours while using only 50cf out of my single tank. I did get a few looks from the other divers showing up with multiple sets of doubles.
Topside was Lake Atlantic, and Vis on the bottom was a fantastic 50ft. Sea bass were everywhere. Lobsters were plentiful, but most I found were small. A few larger lobster came up along with sea bass and ling. Surface temps were 75 with bottom around 60.
Many divers came to dig, as the Harry Rush is also know as the Dead-eye Wreck. One dead-eye did come up along with a compass base, and what appears to be the base of the helm.
Some great finds, and a great day at sea. A great job by captains and crew in finding this wreck again.
