SoCal Dive, Wreck

The Nightingale (San Pedro — 145 fsw)

Tyler Stalter and I are very confident (99+%) that we have identified the origins and name of the un-identified wreck site that I dove back in July 2020 with Ray Arntz & Kyaa Heller on the Sundiver. We believe that it is the fishing vessel Nightingale that sank on Sept 9, 1930. The identification is [...]

Olympic II (San Pedro, CA — 95′ fsw)

History The Olympic II started life as the Star of France which was a 258' long, three-mast sailing ship built in 1877 by Harland and Wolff of Belfast, Ireland. I won't detail the entire history since the CA Wreck Divers site does an excellent job of that. Interestingly enough, just like the Santa Clara ship [...]

Jenny Lynne (Palos Verdes, CA — 145 fsw)

After we dove the Santa Clara, we headed north to the Jenny Lynne. In many ways, it is the exact opposite of the Santa Clara wreck. Instead of a disintegrated, wooden ship that sunk many decades ago, it is a steel hulled fishing vessel that sank in 2003 and is largely intact. Background The Jenny [...]

Caisson #2 (San Pedro, 160 fsw)

Cover Photo of me at Caisson #2 by Ben Liar There are interesting (and somewhat funny) stories about the "Caissons" that are outside San Pedro harbor. First, to dispel a possible misunderstanding, these are not "real" caissons (definition: a large watertight chamber, open at the bottom, from which the water is kept out by air [...]
