I was watching a great show on Pearl Harbor last night that made me cry for 2 hours and David got the notion to look up information on going there. He ran across this and I thought it would be amazing to see. There isn't a date planned for it yet but none the less...

ATLANTIS ADVENTURES MAUI PREPARES TO SINK HISTORIC "CARTHAGINIAN II" VESSEL TO CREATE THE 'LAHAINA ARTIFICIAL REEF'
