I just dove this wreck today. There is a bit of a funny story behind this. Apparently people thought there was going to be a glorious "boom" and watch the ship sink pretty quick... little did they know it took 4 and a half hours for this to fully sink.
truly blessed to be living there and watch this amazing event live! Coolest thing in my lifetime! can't wait to tell my children (if I have any that is) :)
"Straighten up s traighten up straighten up straighten up straighten up!" The cameraman got his wish. The ship now rests under 62 feet of water, upright.
@bonna2100 - This is good for the wildlife! Protects the small fish from storms. Coral and sponge will grow on it and it will be a haven for them. And please don't compare this to the Titanic, because there was no life lost. This was a marine conservation effort!
Stern go in Square oh wow there she go there she go oh no don't do that don't do that oh no don't do that don't tdo that right right trainer turn up come on baby come on baby you can do it turn up turn up oh no turn up turn up turn up turn up
What a nonsense people should read before writting this kind of bullshit. As far as I concern this artificial reef is one of the best dive sites in the world, and It provides shelter to several different marine animals. This Ship was built with high-quality steel fresh from the mill. Contamination due to this shipwreek is almost 0.
@roofy2k last time I checked fuel isn't good for fish lol, otherwise the BP oil spill wouldn't be such a big deal, and second, when metal starts to decay(rust) it poisons fish , I know this because I have Several reef tanks. So maybe you should research your stuff.
Damn people are dumb. They've been sinking ships for DECADES! It does not hurt anything. "I own several reef tanks" good for you dummy. I don't think you're replicating the ocean too closely with your tanks.
