Wow, just admit you were wrong, you're making an ass out of yourself.
Hold that thought there, donkey.
The SS United States will be sunk in about 180 feet of water off the coast of Destin, Florida. This depth will make it an accessible destination for recreational scuba divers. The recreational diving depth limit is 130 feet, but divers can exceed this limit with technical diving skills.
There are several places documenting exactly what the plan was for all levels of diving. The upper decks were supposed to rest in 55' of water. That's less than half the depth limit for recreational divers. Meaning plenty to see at that level of skill, even from an external view only. From the local investor standpoint, it also meant trying to include the ninety-five percent of the dive market today who are not advanced or tech divers.
Yes. That is a lot of potential risk now resting on it's side instead of upright. As the original plan dictated. Perhaps we'll find this out when the dive shops start complaining.
Let's see if you can take your own advice regarding admitting when you're wrong. Let's see if civil discourse is still alive here.
