New Wreck off Lahina

[justleesa]

Just heard on the news that they will be sinking some kind of rusting German ship off of Lahina by and for the Atlantis Sub company. Will it be diveable?

My understanding is that it will be for divers. I've walked around the ship while it was above surface, I look forward to diving it once it's finally sunk. I thought it was supposed to be in place this past summer?

This Ship?

Looks like fun.

Hey! that's what I was looking for...very fun indeed. Thanks for the link.

Perfect timing...the ferry is supposed to start running next year...time to start planning a nice dive trip..

It should make for a good dive site, deep but not too deep. Cool looking boat too, was restored to look like an old whaler. And of course the sail boat in the surf that hes been there for over two years now for a five foot deep wreck dive. Lahaina could be the new wreck capitol of Hawaii!

Heh, that'll make 3 wrecks. In addition to the 5' deep wreck, there's the "Tofuda", a 50' sailboat about 1/2 mile offshore of the Hyatt in Kaanapali. 90' to the sand. Definitely the new wreck capitol.

edit: add photo of another attempted wreck, this time off of Lahaina Shores. Unfortunately for us divers, they salvaged it.

Get ready to smile for the tourists as they cruise by above in the subs. Doesn't that happen off Oahu now?

4 wrecks - Don't forget the St. Anthony...

Later edit: oops. didn't see the Lahaina part...

Nah, S. Maui is whole different world than Lahaina ... a couple of tanks and landing craft, the old degaussing station wreckage and a bunch of other stuff out there littering the S. Maui area.

The company that did the salvage is the one I have been trying to get hooked up with. They do all kinda stuff like demolition, marine salvage/ towing, HAZMAT stuff. Offices in Anchorage, Honolulu and LA. I have a butt load of HAZMAT stuff, marine stuff, demo stuff and am licensed in CA and AK as a Paramedic. Somehow, I see my future here.
So if that was to happen and say, I had any sort of say in the matter, well, more boats may be sunk rather than cut up ....

Yup, the Altantis Sub goes by the wrecks of the YO, the San Pedro and Wings
