Last month, Ocean Maps had Ups and
Downs: The market entry in the US was a great success as well as the
presentations at two of the most important watersport fairs: The DEMA
in Las Vegas and the BOOT in Düsseldorf (Germany). Ocean Maps went
down in Florida to add two more dive spots in the Florida Scuba
Diving App. The spots belong to the best what the east coast in the
US has to offer:
The wreck of the ,,Duane“:
The Duane has a moving history behind
her: She was used to observe the weather in Greenland as well as
during the 2nd World War. Moreover, she was used during
Vietnam War and by the Coast Guard – she is claimed the ship with
the most years in duty of military service. 1987 she was sunk near
Key Largo. She now rests in a depth of 40 meters and with her total
length of 100 meters, she attarcts scuba divers from all over the
world.
The ,,Miami Fish Tanks“:
In 1994 it was proved, that tanks cannot swim. Two M60 military tanks were sunk together with limestone rocks to build an artificial reef. Nowadays, scuba divers can watch a vibrant marine life with lots of corals and fish. The tanks are next to the Matthew Lawrence barge in a depth of 15 meters. The flora and fauna as well as the extraodinary objects make it to one of the most interesting dive sites in Florida.
