Saturday 4/21/07 – Dive Report: The F4 Phantom

Submitted by bill on April 24, 2007 – 12:04 pmNo Comment

Had a great day with Tyler, Steve P and Clint and myself aboard Clint’s 20ft zodiac. We arrived on site, just off Torrey Pines State Beach and dropped anchor in the brown water. It was gross. The red tide or whatever crap that is in the water column was not what we wanted to jump into and looked like it might be sewer overflow.
The F4 Phantom is an unidentified wreck, well to us, I’m sure the Navy has a ream of reports on it, that crashed and sank into 150 feet of water.

We descended down and thankfully the viz opened up on the bottom. However, so did the temp, it dropped to 50 degree F, one of the coldest dives I’ve been on in a while.

Tyler got one good topside photo of a HARDCORE San Diego wreck diver. I forgot my backplate at home and had to borrow one, beggars can’t be choosers.
