The Shenandoah Dive Locker

Diving the Central Italian Coast

  We loaded our diving boat one weekend morning and set out to choose our rec dive location.  This photo was snapped from a shipmate of mine from the actual ship - USS Shenandoah.       

 

                      We picked a spot to dive near the Central Italian town of Gaeta.  We saw this fortress in the crevasse of the cliff and anchored our boat.  Looking north along the coast was this neat looking castle/fortress on a very small island.         

 

  Red is snapping some pictures too.

 

  We made our way back to the ship and others onboard we eager to see our "catch...."         

 

                      We found a bunch of coins and a 3.5 foot octopus.  EVERYBODY wanted a picture of that poor guy on my fingers!  My shipmates gave me copies...these are a couple of them.
