What's this?

I've done several dives to around 100'

the first was a shore dive off the Dutch Island of Bonaire. You can swim about 50 yards from the beach and it drops off quickly. It turns into a reef wall and the water is so clear and warm you would never know you're that deep without looking at your dive computer. In fact, I wasn't "Advanced" certified at the time, so I was only supposed to go down to 60'.

the second was a wreck dive that I linked below. We had a perfect day for diving this wreck because the water was warm and the current wasn't too strong. And given the depth, you would need at least 3-4 dives to cover the entire ship since your bottom time is so limited.
