So there I was thinking how cool geocaching is and why I didn't discover it sooner. Then a lightbulb went off "I wonder if there are geocaches under water?" I got on my computer and did a PQ. I was shocked to find out that there were no scuba caches in the area. Really? South Florida has wrecks all over the place. I decided to combine my new hobby with my old one to create the "WRECK-O-MEDED" scuba cache series.

The cache is located in the wreck of the Hog Heaven. Hog Heaven is a 180-foot barge that lies upside down in 64 feet of water. While traveling to be sunk as an artificial reef, this ship flipped upside down. The barge was owned by Western Contractors Company of Iowa and was sunk in 1986. In 1988, a dredge pipe and concrete bridge beams were added to the site to help foster the formation of an artificial reef. In the same area is the 70-foot barge, Wayne, about 200 feet northeast. (N26 08.102 W080 04.833) The remains of the Pacific Reef Lighthouse are also nearby. This debris was sunk in 1989 to form an artificial reef. 

Please feel free to contact me before you go on the dive if you wish so I may join you or at least give you some hints. Enjoy my first of many scuba caches to come. Dive Safely. I will mail an unactivated "scuba" themed geocoin for the FTF. There is a three letter word on the log book. Email it to me with your address so I can mail the geocoin to you. ENJOY! Congratulations to Hurricane Juan for the FTF
