Two new shipwrecks found! That's AWESOME. Can't wait to see the footage. I wonder if they are going to release the number and buoy them for divers to see as part of the preserve???

These wrecks are for tech divers only as they are in 300ft of water. When the sanctuary gets the expansion these wrecks will be in the boundaries.
