    Oriskany skill level

    Depth to the sand under the props is around 225. The vis is usually not that bad, and may seem worse than it actually is because it's dark under the ship. Only the forward props (1&4) remain.

    An interesting twist to your story - the "looter" has since become one of the most active and requested dive masters for Oriskany dives, and he has aggressively fought to preserve the ship for all to enjoy.
