Dive-site story
This upside-down landing craft utility vessel rests over a sandy seafloor surrounded by an expansive field of artificial reef concrete Z-blocks. The open spaces underneath the hull create sheltering cavities favored by resting bottom dwellers, while schools of reef fish circulate above the superstructure. It is typically dived as a drift or moored boat dive along Oahu's leeward coast.
