Hobe Sound Kayak Wreck Dive Anyone?

[shcubasteve]

What up all:

Ive had my eye on this wreck off Hobe Sound for a while, and am finally planning to Yak dive it. I did this wreck from a traditional vessel and had a great time: see pictures. Max depth:35'. According to the numbers I have and goggle earth, the wreck appears less then 1/2 mile offshore. Thats nothing for the Scupper Pro! Whenever the weather cooperates (summer) few friends and I are going to check it out. Anyone interested?

Two concerns:
I'm not real familiar with Jupiter island and have yet to find a place to put in; any suggestions? Anyone have a name for this wreck- 12 miles south of SLI?

Alright! I found the link to the youtube video. Fast forward past the H&L cobia to 33 seconds for video of the wreck. Check out the sick clouds at the end.:eek::thumps:

that looks like the "Gulf Pride", aka greg normans wreck because it sits due east of Normans (former) house. Decent dive, wreck has a cool swim through if your freediving. bring a light there are alot of holes which hold some mangroves that get decent sized

Wreck's name is actually GULFLAND. Its only the portion of the wreck not salvaged after her sinking (due to collision) in WWII.
