Hardly. More than likely, it will be the most overrated.funkyspelunker:

Why overrated?

Don't you think this huge structure will provide a home for a tremendous amount of sea life? I'm not particularly compelled by wrecks themselves, but I'm fascinated by seeing marine species adopt wrecks as their homes.

People seem pretty pumped to see an "Aircraft Carrier"...now, picture your swim on the deck.Hank49:
It would probably be pretty cool as a penetration dive, but since it is an Artificial reef...it will be pretty cleared out.

Most of the wreck is deeper than 130 ft, so even if lots of life adopts it (which they will), its a little deep for most people to examine the life for any length of time.funkyspelunker:

I agree, I would love to dive this wreck soon and then visit it later to see the difference!

I see. But think of the fish that'll likely hang out there.

It would be a cool dive to do once. I just don't think it is "the most amazing wreck dive of all time!"Hank49:

JeffG, you probably won't like this one either, but I think this 737 artificial reef will one day be a great dive as well.
