questions about diving the madiera

[DetectorGuy]

The Hesper is a nice wreck and it is an extremely easy shore dive... Drop your gear off on the jetty, park your car, gear up on the nice flat rocks, and jump in from the jetty. As you step off the jetty you are almost right on the wreck. big waves from the North will make the exit dangerous. Viz here is probably a little worse than the Madiera, but no long surface swim. The 2 mm hood will not cut it for either wreck (unless it is one of those rare times that the water is 60 degrees). Like Arcflash said, expect 38 degree water and hope for warmer. The Hesper has a bunch of stuff to see in the 30' to 45' range.
