The location of the wreck of the USS Vammen (DE-644) had been located off of SoCal. Sunk during the Condor missile testing program this is an amazing wreck.
You can read the dive report here:
USS VAMMEN (DE-644)

With a history that spans the period from WWII to Vietnam, you can read about the history of the USS Vammen here:
Ship History - USS Vammen (DE-644)

It looks like a phenomenal dive, but judging from Kendall's load of spare bottles I suspect it is just a little outside of recreational dive range.

Here is John Walker's Video:


Such a stunning dive, I love living vicariously through John's phenomenal videos since this stuff is waaaaay beyond my training!

I love the video but like Jim said, maybe a little deeper than I like to go....:wink:
 
Awesome. If only it was 200 feet shallower.
