Revive your Diving passion!  Join us at this once-in-a-lifetime dive site to explore the largest artificial reef ever created.

  • For recreational/sport divers the Oriskany dive is a deep dive.  While the island can be reached at 70 ft., the everlasting experience in this dive is at 120-130 ft. hovering above the flight deck looking down at her sides where the abundance of marine life gathers One hundred twenty to one hundred thirty feet is deep for a recreational diver and bottom times can be as short as eleven minutes (if all time if spent at 130 feet).  For technical divers, the Oriskany is a fairly shallow dive and an outstanding training site
