HMAS Adelaide Being Sunk 27th March On Central Coast

[burna]

I've seen some wave model charts made by who knows who, that purports to show a permanent wave shadow on the beach caused by the ship
and ... Illustrations that show a huge ship a less than a 100 meters off shore looming over the beach

DB,

Was that for the Adelaide or another ship?

So let me ask you guys, when she is sunk, will you dive her?

Absolutely, and my wife and i would be spending money in the area on food and accomodation as well as the diving. Ideally I'd come back regularly as I'd quite like to see how it changes over time.

But it looks like the support rally was a sucsess, lots of people turned out to show support and there were speakers that were addressing the fear mongering misinformation put out by NoShip

The estimated 500-strong crowd of pro-ship supporters included politicians, councillors, environmental groups, scientists, business people, ex-servicemen, and residents.

Ha! That's a classic!

Did they provide a reference for these "facts"? Studies etc?
(I can't access FB here at work, so can't check the source of those pics.)

Not much point sinking the ship as a dive site if it protrudes from the water like that!!

LOL, given the size of the ship in the photo I'm not supprised the board riders are concerned about their break - it's higher than the point on the right hand side

Pretty weak to try and use parents concerns about their childs safety for their own ends! Not cool.

By the way when they say "in 30m of water" does that mean the ocean floor is 30m or the top of the wreck is at 30m?

The rally was great success and we had a lot of people who have a great knowledge give information and dispel myths

The wreck is in about 35m of water. One of the requirements was it to be sunk in more then 30m of water.
