    About Active Duty Outdoors:
    I started this channel to prove to my son that I could get to 1000 subscribers...check! I was an Active Duty Air Force member with over 23 years of service and now retired. My career had brought me to some awesome locations that I was able to call home, from the Rocky Mountains to the Swamps of South Georgia and everywhere in between! After retiring, we moved to Navarre Florida where I can fish and scuba dive right out my back door...almost. My family and I have a strong passion for the outdoors from hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, to SCUBA diving and spearfishing. Where will we go next?
    We crushed 6,000 subscribers!! Thank you to all of you who have clicked the subscribe button, you all are AWESOME!

    Nice. Can’t believe it already had a lionfish on it. That’ll be a cool dive once the sediment settles. Looks like lots of cool swim throughs too.

    • @ActiveDutyOutdoors
      @ActiveDutyOutdoors  5 місяців тому

      It was crazy to see the Lionfish there! It’s going to be an amazing ship to dive in a few months!

    Great video! Man, the FL panhandle has really been doing some great work sinking wrecks and reef modules left and right. I've dove in PCB and Pensacola, but now I'll have to add this to my list (I also want to check out the Destin jetty).

    • @ActiveDutyOutdoors

      Destin is becoming a diving Mecca thanks to Alex and his team, they are always planning something. I have yet to dive the jetties but it is on my list for sure!

    That is so sick! That thing is going to be loaded with snapper in the summer. And lions apparently. Where the heck did he come from?

    • @ActiveDutyOutdoors
      @ActiveDutyOutdoors  5 місяців тому

      It will be loaded for sure! I heard that there might be a private number near it. I guess it was close enough for that Lionfish to come investigate.

    Bruh how did that thing already have a lionfish on it 😂

    • @ActiveDutyOutdoors

      That’s what I said!! I think we dropped it pretty close to a chicken coop.

    Also how did they sink it?

    • @ActiveDutyOutdoors
      @ActiveDutyOutdoors  5 місяців тому

      They had pre cutout holes in and pulled the plug once they got it in position.

    If that's massive, how do you describe the QE2?

    • @ActiveDutyOutdoors
      @ActiveDutyOutdoors  5 місяців тому

      Uber-massive. 😂 the QE2 is still floating though, correct?

  • @thetraveljunkies8652
    @thetraveljunkies8652 5 місяців тому +1

    Why do they do this?

    • @ActiveDutyOutdoors
      @ActiveDutyOutdoors  5 місяців тому

      To create artificial reefs. The gulf is pretty barren so these ships create a fish haven.

      It’s in the video on the bottom right of the screen during the diving portion.

    • @ActiveDutyOutdoors
      @ActiveDutyOutdoors  5 місяців тому

      LOL! Now that is a very intelligent comment. Pollution and global warming. Please explain your comment on how a ship that has been stripped of all it's components other than the steel structure causes pollution and global warming. This should be interesting. If you finished the video you would have heard that my area of study is in Environmental Science so I would expect a comment that cites its sources (and please no wikipedia). When you're done, do me a favor and Like the video and Subscribe to the channel. I appreciate your support.
