Default USS Oriskany Sinking

Well I don't know if any of you guys have been keeping up with this, but today in Pensacola, (where I live) they are sinking the USS Oriskany which will be the largest artificial reef ever. They say it will bring in divers from all over the world once it is at the bottom of the Gulf. It will be sitting at the bottom at our huge line of artificial reefs that include other things such as army tanks. I don't know if any of you out there are divers, but if you are, come out here sometime and do the damn thing. Might turn out to be the first ever Mustang Diving Meeting haha. Here is a website if you want to read up about it.

cool they have been doing the same thing here in Maryland off Ocean City for @10 years now (started wth a WWII submarine), creating all kinds of new fishing(& diving) reefs. I go off-shore in my boat and fish these reefs and they have done wonders for off-shore fishing kudos to the gov for doing this :banana:
