Cristobal Colon

The wreck of the Cristobal Colon was one of the last Spanish ships to be sunk during the Spanish-American war in 1898. We would like to do a survey of her remains and have done a few reconnaissance dives and some research.

Weather and access remains an issue at this site. With over 9 trips to this region we were only able to get on the wreck twice for recons and no survey measurements or video were taken.

This survey might still happen but we will have to wait and see.
