Cayman Island to get a new wreck dive


Look at this amazing ship. Its a 251 ft submarine rescue ship. It was destined for the scrap yard but the Cayman Island tourist authorities have decided to have it sunk to create an artificial reef. I love wreck diving as it creates unusual habitat for sea life and new areas for coral to grow. I also like the juxtaposition of the underwater world against something so industrial and man made, and the fascinating story behind them.
