Just seen this on the news, it would be cool if this was a new dive for people on the peninsula.

KENAI, Alaska -- The 166-foot supply vessel Monarch is likely to remain in Cook Inlet after its sinking near Nikiski.
The Monarch sank Jan. 15 when sea ice pinned it against a platform operated by Chevron. Seven crew members were evacuated onto the platform and flown to shore by helicopter.
An official with the boat's operator says it's been declared a total loss.
And Jim Butler, a spokesman for Ocean Marine Services, says lifting it could prove dangerous to the nearby platform and to pipeline and communications infrastructure on the inlet bottom
