Appears to be in rather shallow water too, form the short video I saw.

It's surprising no one had noticed it prior to this -- there are various modern wrecks, including at least one aircraft, that divers regularly visit. LOTS of bad weather and turbulent seas right around there -- although, contrary to the common nuttery that gets regurg'ed, including by the discoverer of this ancient wreck, the ancient mariners didn't hug the ****in' coast. The explanation for why they didn't lies some fathoms down. There are bound to be ancient wrecks, in better condition than this one, on the largely unexplored abyssal plains of the oceans and seas, but most wrecks appear near coasts, where the jagged rocks are at or near the surface, and at night, before electric spotlights, and with no lighthouses to go by, probably most ships which sank went down near coasts.
