Sweet! I'd love to see that. From what I understand (and I'm getting all of this third party) is that the superstructure will be within sport diving levels. I'm not positive of the total depth of the water.
I did one of these on an old Liberty Ship back in the mid 80's (I was a youngster helping out my Dad) and if I remember, it was only in about 150-200 feet of water. We scuttled it off Navarre Beach (about 5 miles out I think). I don't know if it is upright or not, we had demo'd the hull to about 20 feet above the waterline.

He told me they left the tender on top as "floating base" for the blasting machine. apparently the "conrolled scuttle" was done in such a way to allow for a uniform sinkong of the vessel. the tender would then float away as the deck cleared the surface. They wanted the ship to land upright on the bottom, I believe it is in about 200-300 feet of water (I am not positive on that). The State of Florida will allow sport diving on the superstructure, diving to the deck will be out of limits for most divers.

The gov spent about 5 mil on decon for the ship, so I guess the contamination issues were moot. It will also make a nice reef for local fishermen.
