How are you Florida guys doing with the oil spill?
It truly does suck this whole mess out there. From the marine life, plants, beaches and people all affected, I'm very sorry and wish I could do something to help. How are you guys/gals doing as far as detecting? Safe diving, and hh.
Re: How are you Florida guys doing with the oil spill?
You know Nick I think the salvage operations at greatest risk would be at Pensacola, FL
A Spanish Fleet sits off the Pensacola bridge there and oil has shown up along that area. Then there have been a number of archaeological projects on Florida's NW Section. The East of Florida appears to be safe still for the moment and I hope salvagers are working fast in case the oil does start coming into that area.
The scary part Nick is that all day long on the t.v. there has been talk about the oil volume coming out of that leak being far more than even some of the greatest guesstimates that have been given to the public, possibly more than 25,000 barrels a day.
So one has to wonder if this is a hint leading up to a bigger confession they may be dropping on us.
I would love to hear from people in Punta Gorda, and if they are seeing anything in their area ?

Well I am not doing any active salvage operations, but I can say this IT SUCKS TO HIGH HEAVEN. I use to enjoy my ride to work along Beach road from Perdido Key FL to Gulf Shores AL. but now instead of the pristine beaches and the islands in the intercoastal fill with people enjoying themselves. All I see is Heavy equipment, Barges, Oil Booms and Contract workers. I am glad that they are here I just wish there were no reason that they should be here. My frustration is not with the Working people of the clean up effort it is with the Higher Echelon leaders. It just seems that no one is absolutely in charge. I have attended several meetings with my County Commissioner and others but yet still a defined chain of command is wishy washy. Our government (Obama) says let there be no doubt of who is in charge. Well I think they should take on the mind set of WHEN IN CHARGE THEN BE IN CHARGE. sorry for venting maybe the wrong forum. Peace Out.

We haven't seen the worst of it yet on the Panhandle. Luckily most of what we've been getting are tarballs and a light surface sheen. We can manage tarballs on the beaches, but liquified oil getting into our esturaries is the greatest concern.
The wrecks that ITMAIDEN mentioned in the bay will be just fine. The two De Luna fleet wrecks from 1559 near the bay bridge have been covered with a tarp-like sheet and then sanded over. The wreck of the Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santiago Apostol from 1705 has been covered up for a few years now. There are of course scores of other colonial wrecks in the bay that have never been located and are most likely silted over anyway. Most of the popular recreational dive sites should be fine due to their depth, but this is subject to change if we get some of the submerged plumes.
Even if the spill ended tomorrow, I think it will be several months if not longer before we see the true damage that has been done to the overall ecosystem in the gulf - and it will be tragic. Every layer of the food chain has been impacted not to mention the critical inshore habitats for spawning. This is the price we all pay for our addiction to oil.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain
My dad works for an oil field service company that is supplying the directional drilling equipment for the relief wells - the contractor performing the relief well drilling is Boots & Coots. Yes, there is a high probability that the well casing may have ruptured below the sea floor. However, a successfull 'main well intercept' by BOTH relief wells will have nearly a 98% probability of success. The projected intercept depth is 10,000 feet below the sea floor and the potential well casing failure is believed to be within 200 feet below the sea floor. Boots & Coots has had a 100% success rate of performing "Kill Wells" for 48 wells so lets hope they don't start screwing up with this one.

I noticed that treasure salvors were not on their list as well as those who do diving expeditions with tourists, or losses of funds or time for archies.
