I think a wreck is technically anything man-made and metal that shouldn't be underwater? Anyway, a fun shot.
At a depth of 90 feet, a diver investigates the steering quadrant of the Bohemian wrecked off Halifax, Nova Scotia. Nikonos V, 12mm Sea & Sea lens, Ilford 3200 ASA film on manual exposure in natural light.
This moon jelly was about the size of a dinner plate. I just held the housing out in front and took a snap.
