The USS Wilkes-Barre Wreck

A spectacular but extremely deep wreck dive is found offshore of the Shoals in 320 feet of water. The U.S.S. Wilkes-Barre" is a 610 foot WWII Cleveland Class Light Cruiser offering an astounding 180 feet of relief to the top of the smoke stack. As the main deck lies at a depth of 210 feet, this dive requires lengthy decompression and should not be attempted without proper certification, and then only under the supervision of qualified guides.
