Hi Abbo,

Two Atami wreck questions hoping you can answer:

What is/where is the 70m (deep) wreck you mentioned above ?
I heard the Chinsen pulled down its tugs. Last time I dove it, I circled the perimeter of the hull (s) looking for mooring lines going out in the sand to the presumed tugs but found nothing except the bow chain/anchor. Do they exist and if so, how many/where ?

Thanks.

The Atami wreck is 70m long, in total. See
ƒrƒ^ƒKª
(there must be a better map somewhere...).
There is a 70m deep wreck off Kushimoto, but getting permission to dive it, and getting a boat to get you out there, is a pain.

Sure, I've heard about the tugs too, but to be honest I've never really searched. There are some decent penetrations to keep you busy, which are a deal more fun than searching around the outside.
