Nice pics. Its amazing what the sea does to a wreck. I remember seeing pics of the ship when first sunk. The Kittiwake is on the same path. I remember diving the oro verde in GC in the 80s when fully intact. Now just scattered parts.

Bet the OV looks different than the last time I dove it~'92.........was once a very good N/P wreck dive

I count 15 in the second pic :).

BTW - My original comment was just questioning the seeming lack of significant amounts of fish versus what I would expect to see on an established wreck? The few wrecks I've dived dived so far have had much more life. For example, here is an unedited video from the Jane Sea wreck in Aruba - is the Tibbets typically like this or has something changed recently or over time (Lion fish impact, etc.,) - just curious...
 
Brac 3-'17..........Leaving the Tibbetts(the 2nd time?--note, seas ie waves were MUCH better ie less this day vs the 1st day ie 5 days later).......

Have no idea.......Best I could offer is -:...(keep in mind all my pics are shot @ random and listed in my Flickr albums in chronological from the SD card)......Below are pics from a 2011 Brac trip---maybe compare the 2 times in Brac ie 2011 vs 2017???.....
