A view inside the SOTO TRADER, a cargo barge that exploded and sank off Little Cayman in 1976.  Two crewmen were killed in the gasoline explosion that rocked the islands. Russian destroyer off the coast of Cayman Brac.  This ship was purchased from Cuba by the Cayman government and intentionally sunk on September 16, 1996 to form an artificial reef.  The destroyer was renamed the M.V. Capt Keith Tibbets.
Russian destroyer Keith Tibbets.  Excellent view of the entire front of the ship. (This is one of my favorite pictures which shows the front of the ship resting on the edge of a 7,000 foot wall.) Top deck and cabin of the SOTO TRADER calling for a diver to enter and explore.
Wide angle shot of the back of the ship SOTO TRADER which came to rest upright. Interior shot of the SOTO TRADER showing the damaged walls from the gasoline explosion.
Dan & Kathy Misiaszek clown around on the guns of the Russian destroyer Keith Tibbets. (Merry Christmas) Emerging from the cabin window of a work boat wreck in Pensacola, Florida in 110 feet of water.
upside down airplane wreck, twin engine Lockheed 10E at the "La Ceiba" in Cozumel, Mexico. Part of the submarine theater that sank in Aquarena Springs, San Marcos, Texas.  The sub was installed in 1951 and patrons watched mermaids and water shows for many years.  The sub sank accidentally in 1974 during the dismantling and removal process when pumps could not keep up with the incoming water.
