from the web site:
The Vandenberg will lie within the bounds of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. aka Key West
The keel and screw will rest at 140' The tops of the bridge, com rooms, crow's nest and the vast dish antennas will be only 40' below the surface in normally clear gulf stream waters. Lying outside the reef line, about 6 miles offshore, the wreck will often be visible even to snorkelers and glass bottom boats. This site will be the signature dive of Key West and the Florida Keys, and will become one of the most famous warm-water wrecks in the world. All 4 upper decks will be opened to divers, with access vertically through the 18 stair towers, elevator shafts, and cargo holds. The spaces will also be accessible horizontally through 7x10' holes in the hull. The fuel tanks, tank-top, and first platform will be sealed and ballasted to insure upright positioning.

Gilless:You mean there's more reasons that the fact that its 78 degrees outside here right now in the middle of Florida?
It's 60F here in S. Ohio.... not bad for New Year's Eve!!
