The past winter was not kind to the Stolt, I'm afraid. The galley and
surrounding sections have collapsed (no clue where that big Hobart mixer
went but I didn't look for it very hard) and some of the formerly
wide-open spaces within (from last year) are now tight.

Still a worthwhile dive, though.

Glad to hear you got out there. Where did you go from?

I was thinking about going out this past weekend, but the ride on the
day I could go was on one of the old slow sea cow boats. The guys who
got out there on Saturday had a good dive.

We went out of Belmar on the Ol' Salty II, Nick Caruso's boat. It's not
the world's fastest but I like the boat, the crew, and Nick, and dive
with them a few times a year. (Among other things, the food is always
great and Sunday was no exception.) Several familiar faces there and
some new ones (to me).

Viz was quite good on the first dive and for most of the second dive,
and the water was warmer than I thought it would be. Near the end of
the second dive viz started to go away surprisingly fast, dropping to a
good-for-NJ 10'-15' from 30-40'+ over the space of 10-15 minutes, which
was slightly disorienting (but only slightly--sort of like the first 10
minutes under the hood if you're a pilot--no problem finding my stage
bottle and the upline), but overall it was a good day for me and my son.

It didn't look much like the photos last year (September) and looks even
less like that now. The tile floor shown in one photo is in the galley.
It was intact last year but is now partly collapsed, along with two of
the galley bulkheads. The gallery nearby is also pretty much gone.

I dove it last October. We were pretty much anchored at the stern and I
did some investigation of a few of those compoartments. I went down to
about 122fsw on it.

A shame. I'd be interested in what happened to it, but I don't think I'm
scheduled for it this year so far. We'll see.

Curious as to when the wreck went down and what it was.

The local (artificial reef) wrecks have deteriorated much faster than I
would have expected. Most are European built coasters and are quickly
becoming downright dangerous. The military stuff holds up a lot better.
