| OUR SECOND YEAR GUIDING DIVERS ON THE B-29! |
After
lying on the bottom of Lake Mead for 50 years this
exciting dive site is now open to select divers to visit |
|
Since the discovery of the sunken B-29 Bomber in Lake Mead in August 2002 the wreck site has fallen under a Special Diving Restriction preventing visitation by the general public. This site has had significant historical importance and has been designated a submerged cultural resource. The Lake Mead National Recreation Area has been designated as the custodian of the B-29 . The National Park Service has documented the wreck site and have conducted appropriate archeological studies on the site including measurement surveys, documentation with both still and video imaging. They have determined that the site is stable, and although still fragile, it is not under imminent danger of destruction by the elements. Considering that archeological and documentation have been completed the National Park Service has opened this site to two commercial operations for Guided Technical Dives. |
