The Kittiwake spent decades standing by for downed submarines — she tended rescue divers and recovered the black box from the Challenger disaster — and retirement suits her. Scuttled in 2011 in bright shallow water, she was prepared almost politely for divers: hatches wide, hazards stripped, five decks of legible spaces from recompression chamber to mess. Storm swell has since rolled her onto her port side, which improved the drama; corridors now run at film-noir angles and the propeller frames divers against blue. Snorkelers read her outline from the surface. Few wrecks anywhere are this generous per bar of pressure.
その瞬間のために: Intact rescue-ship spaces at kind depths, tilted corridors and the stern prop, snorkel-visible from the surface.
地形: A 76 m ex-US Navy submarine rescue vessel scuttled in January 2011 on sand, later pushed onto a port list by storm swell.
エントリー: Moored marine-park site off the north end of Seven Mile Beach; paid entry, buoyed perimeter.
