Project T2 visited all of the wrecks in Miami-Dade County that are lying between 170 and 200FT.  The project began with a dive on the Star Trek by Joel Svendsen and Joe Talavera on October 19th, 2003, and was completed on July 4th, 2007 with a dive on the Deep Tenneco by Joel Svendsen, Matthew Hoelscher, and David Buhlinger. 

Largo Barge 180FT

A relatively unremarkable barge, this site was once thought to be the site of the "Nick C", a ship that was allegedly sunk off Haulover Inlet but never found (the wreck at the official coordinates for the Nick C is actually the Merci Rabi). 

Deep Tenneco 185FT

The Deep Tenneco is the legs of the "Tenneco Tower" oil drilling platform sunk in two pieces in 100ft of water nearby.  The legs are significantly more interesting than anticipated; the drilling tube and associated support structure is all in place. 

Raychel 185FT

The Raychel is a fascinating site that benefits greatly from the use of scooters.  The Raychel initially rolled over and sank in about 45 feet of water.  She was cut into three pieces, and the pieces were placed in 185FT along with a barge and a large floating buoy which presumably were used in the salvage operation.  Each of the five pieces is about 150 feet apart in a North-South line. 

Mystic Isle 185FT

The Mystic Isle is a bathtub shaped ferry boat, sitting upright and intact.  There is extensive but potentially hazardous penetration throughout much of her insides. 

Esmeralda 200FT

The Esmeralda sank in Biscayne Bay during a hurricane in 1926.  Shortly thereafter she was raised and sunk intentionally offshore (to dispose of her) and forgotten.  She was rediscovered by accident within swimming distance of the Mystic Isle in the mid 90's.  She sits upright with a list, and is largely intact.  While of significant historical interest, the wreck itself has a low profile and little penetration is possible.  

Star Trek 210FT

The Star Trek is a 200FT long landing craft lying on her starboard side. Her bridge and superstructure were damaged considerably in Hurricane Andrew, and lie mostly destroyed in the sand beneath the wreck. Since her last survey in 1993, some major sections of her port side have collapsed down into the wreckage of her bridge, creating a large but potentially unstable swim-through.
