Today's dive was my first on the wreck of the Carthaginian II which was was intentionally sunk in 97 feet of water as an artificial reef on December 13, 2005. It is located just South of Lahaina Town off Puamana County Park.
The Carthaginian II was a 90 foot replica of a 19th century merchant ship. It was docked in Lahaina since 1973 as a museum.
The ship was used in the 1966 movie "Hawaii" which was based on James Michner's book.
Atlantis bougtht the ship and spent two years getting it ready for sinking. It is a regular site for the visitors onboard the Atlantis submarine.
The submarine passed by as I was on my dive.
