The ship wasn’t broken, it was actually floating, then sank in place when it was at the appropriate site. The demo cutting charges were set and fired. As to get the ship to be in the upright position for the fish to swim around. The ship had to have huge pieces of the hull cut and removed to give fish access. Fish won’t go in a hole that does not have any light showing through it. It’s like you wouldn’t go into a room without the light on, right? The airplane was added later but during one of the winter storms it destroyed the fuselage sections and the propellers are no longer attached to the engines. The artificial reef almost sank the crane barge when it was lifted and the crane rotated to let down the load. But thankfully to the skill of the crane operator the barge and the load was saved. I don’t know if there are divers still feeding fish for the tourist anymore. I know they did have some shark encounters there but they did not stay. This has been a business venture and a state of, Hawaii reef growing experiment. I don’t know if it will work because of the shoreline pollution from the runoff of the island. The waters near shore around, Oahu have been so depleted of fish it is very sad. So I’m glad to see at least the,, Nautilus adventure still have fish. 🦈🐟🐠Aloha, 🌺🌸🌼🇺🇸
The wrecks are pretty cool, but I get what you're saying. My only guess would be that they aren't allowed to pilot close to natural reefs. I imagine a sub like that could cause major damage if it ran into part of a reef. If you haven't already, check out Aqualink Hawaii channel's live seacam feed from Kona. Now THAT is beautiful!
They are also following safe paths that they have travelled a lot of the time before. It's deliberate for the tourists, especially as there is no capability for the vehicle to go all that deep and it doesn't have much power. So just to create a play-ground for the tourists, is quite firmly the thinking with this. You could possibly find private charter stuff, but that would cost a whole lot more than this fairground ride. They also have insurance considerations too, so they don't actually want to expose anyone to danger, so they keep it as safe as possible, and as tame as possible.
What you folks don’t understand is that project took two years of planning and building before any tourist ever saw anything back in the 1980’s. That part of the ocean off of Waikiki, Hawaii, is considered, “Ocean Desert,” it took an entire year of chumming bait and dog food to get fish to come for the attraction. They used to have divers feeding the fish at about fifty foot of depth. The company Nautilus Submarines was hoping to attract for your viewing, big really big, sharks. Some did come but did not stay. The artificial reefs including the ship, plane and concrete piers is also an experiment to build an artificial reef that would attract reef fish to other parts of Waikiki. That part of Oahu, Hawaii, used to be a bountiful fishery and agriculture center of the kingdom of Hawaii. Pollution and over fishing has been the most destructive force to kill the fisheries that the local Hawaiians lived off of. I was looking for a diving job back in the 80’s, I inquired to work for, Nautilus as a diver they were advertising back in the News paper. But at $7.50 an hour it was unsatisfactory to be employed as a diver. $7.50 an hour wasn’t worth the risk as a diver. Sure some people who had no idea what was involved took the jobs but as things progressed they didn’t stay long. I could tell you more but I don’t think people would read it. Aloha 🌺🌸❤️🇺🇸
