I’m trained to be a recreational diver and my limit is 120 ft. I’ll never dive down to 180 ft. I don’t have the equipment or training. So who is this reef for? Habitat for sharks, swordfish, sea stars, octopus, shrimp and many other kinds of fish? Most artificial reefs are much shallower so people can go there.

So you would get to see the top of the ship only. Maybe it still can be saved if someone can find a wharf.

“So you would get to see the top of the ship only. Maybe it still can be saved if someone can find a wharf.”
Aside from being a recreational diver I’m also engineer and a journeyman shipwright.
You can’t just let boats sit at the dock.
They deteriorate. They will sink at the dock!

I was just lamenting the depth they chose to sink it.
All recreational divers are taught not to go inside a sunk craft, that is for professionals only. Probably why they chose that depth to sink the ship in. Recreational divers won’t go that deep.
However it is fun to swim around a shallow reef.
and some people might be tempted!
Effing lawyers!
