Virgin wrecks are usually wrecks that have never been dove before. Unknown have usually been dove before but no one has postively identified the wreck. Both usually fall into the secret catagory as boat captains keep these numbers close to the vest. Some wrecks fall into all three catagories. Last weekend Independence dove a wreck that we located last year. Up to last weekend it had been dove by a team that included 2 crew and a customer for quick dive to see it was worthwhile. Last year a group of the crew did one dive on her to further check it out. Last weekend we took a charter with customers to a wreck who to date had 7 divers on her previously. She was still pretty virgin and she is definately unknown too date. Her location is also being kept secret for now. Therefore she falls into all three catagories . Brandon is right, it is hard to get a group together willing to do long boat rides for the chance to dive a a barge. However, when you do find something the rewards can be fantastic. My advice is keep asking questions, keep diving, and enjoy the journey. By the way some of the known wrecks like the ones Dan pointed out earlier are definately worth checking out.
