Wreck of the Proteus
 |  |
| Dave Etichison and Mike Powell photographing the Proteus' propeller | The wreck's boilers will likely stand forever... |
 |  |
| The sand tiger sharks were near the bow this trip... | Inside the bow |
Wreck of the Dixie Arrow
 |  |
| Looking down on the Dixie Arrow's engine, toward the stern, where the rudder post can be seen still standing upright; Dave Etchison and Mike Powell scootering toward the stern. | Hunting jacks disrupt a school of baitfish near the Dixie Arrow's bow. The scene reminded me of photographs I've seen of a mumuration of starlings and a bird of prey. |
Wreck of the Tamaulipas (Far East Tanker), Bow Section
 |  |
| Karen Flynn exploring inside the Tamaulipas' upside-down bow section. Holes in her hull allow light and schools of fish to stream into the interior. | |
Wreck of the British Splendor
 |  |
| Barracuda cleaning station | The stern is the most intact section these days... |
 |  |
| The Splendor still has a number of areas where you can get inside of the upside-down hull, but they are getting tight! | |
 |  |
| Marauding jacks and a ray | Another barracuda cleaning station beneath the engine crankshaft |
