There is nothing like the thrill of wreck diving for the first time. Descending downward you try to catch a glimpse.
At first there's just blue water; then a dark shadow, a hazy outline begins to appear as the wreck materializes into view. You have arrived on a piece of history, a disaster from the past, or a new condo for the inhabitants of the the ocean. Diving wrecks is an adventure in exploring humanity's loss and nature's gain.
