Center cove guy, have you made a video of a dive to the car? Love to see it if you have.

I know I need to do this. I wish I had done it back in 2004 before all the damage was done. It's still worth doing a video however.

Here's a video of the car that was shot by CAPT PAT with his GoPro in August 2013. I wish we had shot this 9 years ago. There's been so much damage to the car since I found it in 2004.

Wow -- hardly recognizable from years past. Sad -- I think that was the first "wreck" that you and I dove together back in the day.

Was that a tire tread at 2:29? Thanks for the video. It must be disheartening to see something that you worked so hard to find, literally be picked apart by scavengers.

The "item" in the upper left of the frame at 2:29 is the spare tire. The item to the right is the left rear tire.

I'm sorry to hear the condition of the car and may of the other wrecks have degraded so much over time. I think it's important for people to practice neutral buoyancy skills and not touch the wrecks as all it takes is one fin kick to destroy a part of our history that otherwise could have lasted another 15 to 20 years. If you are diving and at the end of the dive the viz is worse than when you started you are destroying the wrecks, you should be able to dive these wrecks and not stir up any silt. Please practice fin techniques and or take a peak performance buoyancy or cavern course to improve your position in the water, you will be amazed at how more enjoyable diving will become. My middle son can't wait to become certified and I would love to show him some of these wrecks while there is still something to see. And please take only pictures and leave only bubbles.
