Sinking of the 250' long Kittiwake, Grand Cayman 5 January, 2011

Click through this sequence to see a mini slide show "movie" of the sinking.  It was an awesome sight to see the unstoppable forces in action.  It's a bit like watching a train wreck.  The retired US Navy Kittiwake, was finally sunk in Grand Cayman on Wednesday, 5 January, 2011 around 2:15 PM after a 7 year struggle by a determined and far sighted team of volunteers and donors led by Nancy and Jay Easterbrook of Dive Tech.    The 250' long submarine rescue vessel is now a spectacular new dive site off the north end of Seven Mile Beach in 58 feet of water, just a ship's length away from "Sand Chutes", a spectacular wall dive site.    Hat's off to Jerome and Rob of Cayman Islands Helicopters for getting me there just in the nick of time after a 4 hour flooding process!
