Yes, please, more information. Where, how? Sounds like it could be a good story.

It was off the coast of Cambodia, the dive team left Koh Tao to firstly dive the Song Hong cave system on Thailands mainland, then drove to Cambodia to search for the wreck. Tim Lawrence who organised the expedition will be writing a detailed account for www.seaexplorersclub.com. Once it is published I will add a link here, hopefully with some video footage as well.
