Train Wheels

Depth: 60' - 100'

Overview

The Train Wheels dive site is named for its token namesake, a set of train wheels. There are a couple sets of them here and to see them lying where they do will surely boggle your mind. There is speculation that perhaps they were used as anchors or perhaps ballast on a smaller cargo ship. Some say they were once part of an exercise for Navy divers. Whatever the case may be, you would have to agree that the wheels are strangely out of place.

What to See

The train wheels themselves, plus the reef life that has moved in around them.

Typical Conditions

Intermediate+. Water 50-52F; visibility varies.

History

Origin of the wheels is uncertain - speculation includes ship ballast, anchors, or Navy diver training.
