Why's the wreck in such deep water? If one of the goals is to attract divers to the wreck, then why sink her in water that most rec divers would find too deep? Or was this the EPA and the tree- and fish-huggers at work? However, I do concur that anyone who dives the wreck who is not qualified should get a Darwin Award. Either the lack of proper dive skills, or hungry local fauna, will see to that.


If the flight deck is 100 ft., where is the top of the island?
How much depth has to be allowed for marine traffic?
