Schedule of 2012 MV Spree Live-Aboard Scuba Diving Adventures Announced

Scuba divers will be in for a treat this year as the MV Spree Live-Aboard announces its schedule of departures for 2012 with trips and scuba diving holidays to suit everyone.

The first of the series of planned scuba diving holidays will begin in February with a six-day excursion to the Dry Tortugas and the Florida Keys which will be sponsored by Aqua-Tek Scuba from Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. In March, two three-day trips are also planned in the area which will be sponsored by Divers Direct and Deep South Divers.

April will see scuba diving adventures to Mona Island in Puerto Rico with plenty of live boat drift boating trips planned and diving in deep crystal clear ocean waters where sheer cliff walls and caves are waiting to be explored.

In May, passengers will be scuba diving in Florida as the vessel takes them on a special technical diving trip where they will be able to go wreck diving to sites such as the USS Kendrick, USS Wilkes-Barre, USS S-16, and USS Fred T. Berry.

The captain of the MV Spree Live-Aboard, Frank Wasson, said: “If you are planning to attend RB3 and need something to do before Innerspace, consider our trip to the Key West Ghost Fleet.”

At the end of May a special annual Memorial Day Dry Tortugas weekend trip is planned with Dayo Scuba.

One of the most anticipated scuba diving trips is the Florida Keys Wreck Krawl where divers will be able to visit one of the leading scuba diving destinations in the United States with diving trips to eight of the nine Florida Keys Artificial reefs between 11th and 17 June.

Wasson explained: “Weather permitting we will dive all nine wrecks, but the Spree is bigger than Joe’s Tug and if the wind is blowing we can’t tie up. We’ll start in Key Largo at the wreck of the USS Spiegel Grove and finish up in Key West at the Cayman Salvor (Joe’s Tug weather permitting).”

At the end of June there will be a trip on the Araby Maid for the technical divers and they will be accompanied by the renowned wreck diver and technical guru Richie Kohler.

The choice of scuba diving holidays does not end there; in July and August, diving enthusiasts will be able to go one two Dry Tortugas sport trips, and liveaboard holidays in Nashville and Alabama.

Finally, September and October will bring the scuba diving fun to an end with three-day trips to Dry Tortugas, and a five-day voyage in Key West for the deep wreck of the Ghost Fleet.
