Artificial Wreck: How To

[timb]

Hi, I hope this is the appropriate forum choice... I work in a dive shop here in Costa Rica and we are exploring the idea of doing an artificial ship wreck. Does anyone have any experience with this, know anyone who does, or where one might start to research the project?

Thank you,
Tim

wow, can a dive shop be the main force in initiating that?

Send a PM to Fred R. He's about to do the same thing and can provide just the information you are looking for.

1. set charges
2. detonate
3. enjoy dive site and start charter
Yup I think so

Kray Z, you ommitted a very important step:


1.A: get the heck out of dodge

that too... unless you REALLY want to be the first one to dive with deep penetration. Then just grab ahold of the wheel and enjoy your moment in the captians chair and go down with the ship.:14:
