There are a few vessels, such as the Depth Charge that go after new numbers, mostly acquired from fishing captains who have success from hitting certain spots and turn them over to friends to check out. On the last two weekends, we have had no success finding anything other than a barge, but the next one could be something of merit. I have been involved in the location and documentation of a lost shipwreck, and it is something very exciting splashing on a wreck you know none have been to, and making the first positive ID. My first was over seven years ago on the clammer: "Four Daughters" which I have revisited eight times since 2005, when it was discovered by Captain Jim Bauers, after being lost for two years after it's sinking. I was a mate then, and captured the first dive on her with video, and positive ID with a life ring inscribed on that trip 9/5/05. Some were just learning to dive then...
Happy hunting!
