Wreck or rock, what do you think?

[Searcaigh]

I hope there will be a full report on this adventure @Cthippo with photos

Good luck, it's always great to find a new wreck or a rock ha ha.

I would bet on a wreck of some sort. Not because of the shape or anything but because of what looks like an impact scar in the sand. Could just be washout from currents moving around the wreck but who knows.

I'd be there in a heartbeat. Exploration diving is what that is. True adventure!

It does look like an impact-scar visually, and that was my initial thought. However, it also occurs to me that most boats would lose nearly all forward momentum either before they sink, or while they sink. (setting aside shallow-depths).

Ship fall creates enough momentum to leave impact the bottom no matter the depth.

That's more likely than not a man made object.

So whatever this target is........ we are now planning to dive it on the weekend of Jan 7-8......providing that the wind and vis cooperate. There's a real nice tide / exchange window on those days so we should be able to easily get 4 dives in if it turns out to be anything worthy. We'll bring video gear and lights and let ya'll know what we find. It is @Cthippo 's find so he his definitely invited on my boat pending confirmation of experience and I have been in communication with him...

Timing is everything up here in the PNW....

Given the dimensions, I too am guessing it is a barge. Will be interesting to explore and document it. I look forward to hearing what you find.
