I've been promising something new and big. This is the first of a couple projects that @California Diver and I have been working on (stay tuned for more).

We are 95+% sure that we have identified a new wreck in Southern California.

We conducted two different dives on the site with Ray & Kyaa aboard the Sundiver Express. It is a fishing vessel named The Mercator that sank in November 1972 in Santa Monica Bay.

The story behind the dives, the data we collected, and the history of The Mercator are posted here:
