"The 47,230-tonne Liberian-flagged Rena has been stranded on a reef 12 nautical miles off Tauranga on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island since running aground a week ago."
Is/was this location a popular dive spot?
I am sure that in time, regardless how well they clean the site, people will attempt to dive on it, searching for whatever.
"The ship was carrying 1,368 containers, 11 of which are said to have hazardous substances in them."
just a heads up for anyone interested.Almost all the oil has been pumped out of the ship and they are now starting recovery work on the thousand or so containers on board.This is going to be a long drawn out job due to the angle of the ship
Theres no such thing as strangers,Just freinds that havent met
Gosh Its great to almost feel like a kid again . For every dive to show you something new and exciting.
To learn a new skill and find theres just so much more to learn.
I'm heading back to Tauranga in .... 8 days (Very happy)
I'll try to have a chat to dive operators in the area to see if they have been affected. Will try to find time in between my Dad's homebrew and all those Maketu meat pies
