Wrecks are unique, not like reefs. If diving famous historical wrecks is your big thing, and there is a specific wreck on your bucket list, it's at the depth it's at. Saying you will be satisfied with shallower wrecks doesn't cut it when the wreck you have in your sights has a unique history, and that's what interests you.
Exactly. It was when I learned that the Monitor is diveable that I decided I wanted to pursue technical diving. Bragging rights associated with the depth are not even a thing, to me.
I'm still working towards being able to go deep enough to visit the Monitor, but I'll get there someday.
