Photo Gallery: Watch The Sinking Of The Kittiwake

In this photo gallery, watch the ex-USS Kittiwake sink off the coast of Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. The 251-foot-long former submarine rescue vessel was scuttled to create an artificial reef off the northern end of Seven Mile Beach on the west side of Grand Cayman.

The Kittwake will rest 64 feet deep on a flat sandy bottom just off the Sand Chute dive site. The 47-foot-tall ship should top out at just 15 feet from the surface, creating an ideal dive spot for both scuba divers and snorkelers.
