Diving the Thistlegorm in Egypt is like visiting a WW2 museum. There's something special about being able to visit where a ship was bombed, and there's a sense of wonderment that it can only be accessed using scuba gear.
But what's the story with intentionally sunk wrecks. To me, they just done hold the same allure. Like the Vandenburg off Key West sunk a few years ago. They basically just dragged it out to a optimum diving depth and then scuttled it. That's like paying a prostitute for sex. I imagine you would still enjoy the sex, but it just wouldn't be the same thing as picking up at a bar.
Most reefs Ive doved are pretty boring - Cuba, Mexico, Cozumel. They all look the same after a while. I appreciate wall dives, but the only good reefs I've seen are in Egypt. So basically to me scuba largely consists of deliberately sunk wrecks, or even ridiculous things like cars, etc and mostly half assed reefs.
