About to be sunk the 44 meter fishing vessel SeaFire moored over its final resting place in 30 meters of water, just South of Whale Island and about 6 miles out from Whakatane is about to become New Zealands latest wreck dive.
Opting to scuttle the vessel rather than useing explosives a 2 hour wait kept a large crowd wondering if she was ever going to sink. A flotilla of aprox 100 vessels and about 3 aircraft got what the came to see when the vessel finally made a move, a huge cheer erupted from the crowd. more info www.whaleislandtours.com
