Yeah, divers clean these out pretty much. It might take pressure off the Oriskany with the divers though.

It’s now confirmed that she is resting upright
Fantastic. I wasn’t optimistic watching her go down

If I had to guess her backend probably hit first and as the rest of the ship came down the momentum rolled it back to the right

The picture of that diver by it though does creep me out though

Probably already covered but what was the depth of the water?

The main deck is only 55-60' from the surface. The bottom rests about 180-200'.

I don't think I'd have the balls to go much further than probably 20' above her. That is some scary looking shite.

Somebody is gonna probably do something stupid and die in there.

Awesome! I did the twisted fish plaque that is attached to the bridge for CCA Florida. Laser cut out of 3/8” 316 Stainless Steel. I wasn’t sure where they mounted it until I watched the video.

I don't dive but. From what I have read, this will be at a depth where regular divers will go around the top of it but wouldn't venture lower?
