Bibb Wreck Additional Information

We do allow Open Water Diver level certified divers to join us diving this shipwreck if they have dove with us shallow the day before, and because we are guided by PADI professionals in groups of no more than 6 certified divers with each guide. The currents someday do make this site un-dive-able, and we have see the currents so strong the mooring balls are literally pulled underwater a few feet.
