Attention Divers! This is huge news! 1000 feet? No pun intended but another amazing reef is coming to the area!
👀👀 SS UNITED STATES coming to GULF COAST as the WORLD’S LARGEST ARTIFICIAL REEF!!!!
💥The 1,000-foot vessel is expected to begin its journey to becoming the world's largest artificial reef next week. 🚢
The process will begin in late November, the SSUS will then be escorted into the Atlantic Ocean.
The ship will make a 2 week journey and is expected to be tugged to Mobile, Alabama, where contractors can remove hazardous materials and make modifications to the vessel before ultimately finding its final resting place at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.
Preparing the vessel for deployment is expected to take about a year.
While the exact location in the Gulf of Mexico has not yet been set, organizers expect it to be roughly 20 miles south of the Florida Panhandle region in the Destin-Fort Walton Beach area.
