Photos - United Caribbean Wreck
Some photos from a recent dive trip aboard the Lady Go Diver to the wreck of the United Caribbean. I was scooter free diving and shooting with two GoPro Hero3 cameras mounted on a Quikpod Monopod.

Something not to be undertaken without plenty of proper free diving training, skill development and good procedures for this specialized type of diving. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...68358629_n.jpg Up and over the top, heading towards that hatch into the forward compartment in the bow. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...84988981_n.jpg Free diving through the bow locker in the wreck of the United Caribbean (former Golden Venture). The vessel gained international attention when a smuggling attempt involving 286 Chinese nationals went wrong resulting in the death of 13 off New York in 1993. http://www.asylumist.com/wp-content/...denventure.jpg The Golden Venture hard aground in 1993.
