Very cool. Wonder how deep it is ( or did I miss that?)

Leesa: given the talk of looting, I suspect it is within rec limits... But that's all I could assume.

yeah....now looting, that is just wrong, wrong, wrong...I've known some divers in the past that were happy to take a trophy (try to take) and that's just wrong - what makes them think that they are so special that they can see and enjoy something and not let anyone after them enjoy it?

The only twisted logic that makes sense is "if I don't take it, the next person will, so I'd might as well snag it."

sigh....

Hmmm, wonder if B & B will do a special charter?????

For the sake of preserving the wreck, it would probably be best if the location were kept a secret but that would be difficult to do.

Nice to hear about a newly discovered WWII wreck though. Very cool.
