| The Californian - Deep
in Black Canyon lies the wreck of The Californian; A 40
year old speed
boat with an outboard engine. Although this spot is just
400 yards from Kraken Cove, it's just not quite as spooky.
Bring a light, as you should on any dive in Black Canyon,
because at this depth, it's very dark. Watch your gas
and keep an eye on your PO2.
Tie off your boat near the
coordinates provided, and follow the rock slide in the "V" down
to the wreck.
The Californian
is sitting upright with the
bow facing SE. Like everything in Lake Mead, it's
beautifully preserved. Special treats include the
California registration sticker dated 1969-1971, functional
steering wheel, and fully stocked mini-bar.
Want your name listed here??
Shoot me an email telling me what's unique about the ignition
with this wreck. You'll know what I'm looking for when you
see it! Watch your air!
