Just saw this news flash, which is great news! It sure was a spectacular event - can't wait to dive the wreck myself on my next visit to the Keys. Has anyone booked a dive yet? Who should I call?

I hope you all enjoy diving her as much as I did. This wreck will be a great dive, There is so much to see, but as always use your head, She can be very dangerous. Watch your depth. I was at 140 counting holes on the starboard side and I was at least 10 to 15 ft above the sand.

Safe dives

Call Captains Corner and get on the Sea Eagle. They have the lowest trip prices on the Island, but the crew is great and they are all about a good time, not raping you for your hard earned money like some other operators in town are doing by hyper-inflating their rates.

What is the plan for the dishes? Going to reattach to orginal site or strap down to the deck?

From what I understand, the dishes were removed from their original mounts, reattached, welded and attached with cables to the deck.

From what I've read, you're both right. The dishes were welded in place and cabled or chained to the deck. They broke free of the welds during the sinking. You can see them come off in one of the ariel shots. They apparently remained attached to the cables and are reported to be on the deck.
