WRECK OF THE CHELSEA

Mike Barnett and the gang at AUE have done it again. They have found the wreck of the tug CHELSEA over in the gulf. This is going to make a great dive for Tech divers. Built in 1926, the CHELSEA was most notable for her prominent appearance in the Brad Pitt, Oscar-nominated movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Most do not realize that after filming in Mobile, the CHELSEA sank off the Dry Tortugas en route to Haiti in December 2006.
The virgin wreck rests perfectly upright and intact in approximately 175 feet of water





Speaking of tech diving the MV KATE is a great platform for tech diving.
