San Clemente Destroyers : USS Vammen and USS Burns

[beldridg]

We've had some amazing conditions here in Southern California. We took advantage of the recent weather and surface conditions and the break in the Navy schedule at San Clemente Island to dive two of the most epic wrecks in this area in the same day. We dove the Vammen (340 fsw) and the Burns (260 fsw) yesterday and had amazing conditions.

I will write detailed posts for each wreck along with a bunch of photos in the near future. They were originally located and identified by the UB88 team.

Here are a couple pictures of Kevin Bond off the stern of the Vammen:

You bet, thanks for the feedback!

We have more coming including a new wreck down by the Coronado Islands that is 220 feet deep that we need to dive again in an attempt to identify it.

Stay tuned....
