Korimu

[Shcubasteve]

Sitting upright in 230' outside Palm Beach Inlet, the Korimu is an impressive wreck that is only a few years old and very well intact. BIG amberjack swimming around indicate the site is close and long anchor chains stretching south from the bow make locating the wreck very easy. After a quick internet search, this appears to be the only video of the wreck available. Video shot with a gopro 3 in a stock housing.

Thanks Steve. Was this a natural sinking or part of the artificial reef program?

Cool video. I rarely dive it because it is deeper than I like to dive on air.

I still remember my first dive on that wreck. Didn't go as well as it did in the video.

I assume artificial because of the anchor chains off the bow.

dead turtle shell.
