I Dove the Andrea Doria over 20 times. Divers were removing broken Plates but I chose to treat it as a Grave site. That was over 3,000 dives ago now. Today I dive to Recover artifacts for the parents of families whose sons have fallen off of Chinese aircraft carriers. Dive Safe!

Thank you for making this website. I used to go fishing at many of these areas with my sister and my dad before he passed away. It's great to see some of these older photos and sketches from a bird's-eye view.

I dove the Three Sisters sometime in the 80's found a medicine bottle, Captain Belinda said she was being used as a garbage scow. That gave the divers incentive as to what they might find. I was lucky.

Thresher Shark

Thresher Shark

Alopias vulpinus

Size:
to 20 ft including tail

Habitat:
open ocean, both coastal and over very deep water, also in the Mud Hole

Notes:
not especially dangerous

This shark feeds mainly upon small fishes which it stuns with its long tail. It has relatively weak jaws and small teeth for its size and is generally not considered a threat to man unless provoked. Thresher Sharks are capable of great bursts of speed, and also commonly leap completely out of the water, for reasons unknown. The Thresher is a favorite of shark fishermen, and is very good eating if cleaned and prepared properly. It is also a common bycatch of long-line commercial fishing. The Bigeye Thresher shark is even more bizarre ( it's purple ! )
