Why wrecks are interesting




Some divers are crazy about wrecks. They love diving on sunken ships, boats, planes, whatever! Wrecks that have been in the water a long time become sites where fish aggregate, and seek shelter. Sponges and other invertebrates settle on old hulls, and a community develops. These photos are from a small steel boat that is in about 95 feet of water. From a distance, everything looks kind of bluish. Close-up, when light is added, the colors become quite vibrant.
