Hi Elliot, Did your friend happen to take any underwater photos?

: Yes you can dive on them - but divers are strictly prohibt

: a - I haven't been yet, but I hope to one day - most ofg t
: he wrecks are quite deep, around 40-70m but under the exce
: llent diving conditions there those depths aren't as risky
: as they are in Europe. A friend of mine went a year back
: and found one of the cargo ships still with it's load of
: nates and zero's on board - all in amazing condition!
