For W. Keith Webb and the team of the shipwreck search and discovery company Blue Water Ventures of Key West, the quest for the famed treasure galleon <i>Santa Margarita<i> begins in 1622.

In addition to the World War II vessels, there are also several artificial reefs that provide structure for fish to thrive and flourish. The last few months have seen more structures added to Artificial Site 330, the location of the <i>USS Indra<i> was a 328-foot Landing Craft Repair Ship that was sunk as an artificial reef in 1992. The ship is sitting upright in 70 feet of water; the highest part of the wreck is at 45 feet, while the main deck lies at 50 feet.

It was a beautiful day with calm seas, a giant sea turtle off our starboard side, and dolphins that had escorted us out still jumping like circus acrobats in and out of the water about 100 yards off the port side. I had almost finished suiting up and checking my gear when the divemaster returned to the surface with his report of &#8220;just wait till you see it!&#8221; I jumped in, started swimming down the anchor line and realized what he meant.<scubanews.com33" target="_blank">read more<p> http:nodescubanews.com
