The deepest that ken got on the B.M. fleet was 420 on the Frankfurt I was told, he has got 456 on the Pamam this wreck is not of the B.M. fleet,but Ken's dive buddy did not return and Ken did not make it to the wreck as the wreck is close to 500ft and is off the coast of Morehead city,N.C.There was another wreck in which a diver did not return this was on the Ethel C. 185ft the diver was not Ken's buddy and this wreck is not of the B.M. fleet.As a side note there are others that have made these dives Harvey Stork,Greg Masi,and Gary Gentile are some that have dove some of the B.M. fleet,But Ken puts all these trips together so he tens to get the distinction of the dive or blame of the dive which way it goes.There have been no fatalities on the dives to the B.M. fleet.There are two wrecks in Hatteras , N.C. that are of the B.M. fleet the Va. and New Jersy.I live in the Va Beach and run dive trips here.I do beleive my facts are right but if they are not please correct me.If someone corrects me I will check it out and post it.I do not wish to post untrue facts like others of this list. Hope this helps. Capt.J.T.
