The
photos below are from the dive I did with AUE in FL on Nov. 18-19, 2000.
The wreck "Vitric" depth 309ft & "Duane" depth 120ft.
All underwater photos were provided by Larry Roth. |

We
wait for it to get close to dark before heading out to dive the "Duane". |
These
are some of the AUE guys and their mascot. |

 |
As
you can see, she took a liking to me. |
I
found out that she was not just full of hot air, but planned to dive also. |

We
head out just as it got dark, sorry no underwater photos of the night dive. |

Mark
Zurl is coming from the stern area. |
 |
 |
Then,
Mark checks out the cylinders. |
Here
you can see that one has been crushed from the pressure of depth. |
 |
 |
This
is the steering gear and rudder. |
And
this is a different view of the tanks. |
 |
 |
The
biggest tank has a valve on it. |
The
valve is most likely a loading valve of some kind or relief valve. |
 |
 |
Here
is a nurse shark. |
The
vis was really good. |
 |
 |
The
divers explore as much as they can in 20 min. |
This
is a hand wheel in some debris. |
 |
 |
The
cylinders were about 100ft long. |
Here
you can clearly see the crack in the engine housing of my scooter. |
