The Atocha is scattered over many square miles and most of the timbers
are buried. That's why Mel and his crew had to literally DIG to find
stuff. For a small fee, the public can dive "The Atocha Experience" at
Florida Keys Community College in Key West...they've got some recovered
wreckage in their training lagoon at about 20-30 feet.
A dive "on the Atocha" would be a bit less interesting than drifting
over sand and eel grass in the Gulf of Mexico....
