Wrecks like the Wilkes-Barre sitting in 80m of water.
A Cleveland-class Light Cruiser out of the US Navy that served in the latter parts of WWII. Decommissioned in 1947 and finally sunk in 1971 by underwater explosive tests. In May 1972 her hulk broke in half and sank. The above video shows a model of how she is sitting.
USS Wilkes-Barre (CL-103)
WWII Destroyer USS Kendrick, launched in 1942 and was sunk during target practice in 1968. She sits in two pieces on hte floor in 90m of water.

This was a massive month for us. Seeing a trip to Truk Lagoon followed by our first official trip to Bikini Atoll. We have full trip reports of both trips. Check out the links on the Latest diving excursions!!
I have also been working tirelessly on providing some awesome products for the future. Just to give you a snippet, I am working on a few projects to get divers to experience the Three Kings Islands off North Cape in New Zealand. These Islands are renowned for their abundent aquatic life. - and yes, there is some rust there too!!!!!
