Miss Opportunity Wreck
Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas, Virgin Islands (U.S.)
Water Type: Salt
Entry Type: Boat
Did this dive on the Admiralty Dive Boat (M2R Duck). Found a barracuda sitting on the deck as we descended to the wreck. My camera failed so I didn’t get to record very much of this, my first wreck dive and my first tropical dive. The excess weight that I estimated via the PADI Buoyancy book was not a problem but should have been 7 lbs.

As far as the wreck, I was the only one to have a dive light. It was nice to have but by no means a requirement. There is plenty of light getting in through the ship windows.
