What are the coordinates of the sink-site...."off 7 mile beach" is rather vague?

Great location information on the official website for the Kittiwake project.

More or less this is straight out from Cemetery Beach in a large sandy patch near the dive site Sand Chute.

Cool. Thanks. How's she sitting, firmly on her keel or did she list?

 

[conman]

looks like she went down on her port side (left). I hope she is sitting upright.

Great news!! She landed upright! Actually she is so upright that you can stand up in waist deep water...no kidding! We were able to get in the water "did not know that this would be possible or we would have brought one of our proper uw cameras" only five minutes after she went down. This is going to be one great wreck dive. I shot a video with a cheap point and shoot. Below is a link to our Face Book page. Please enjoy the first public underwater images of this new and fantastic dive sight!!

It's barely underwater, cruise ship snorkelers?

 

[Insta-Gator]

I look forward to diving this in June.

CI Probably should mount an O&I light and radar corner 10-20' above the high spot to keep it from collecting unintended wreckage. Should be under $500 for the entire setup, including a solar powered LED navigation light.
