this not only breaks the record for shooting a wreck so soon after shooting it's also a super composition - but then you'd expect that from Rico!

Coastguard Patrol Boat 119. Was a big honor to be one of the first to dive this new wreck and the very first who takes uw photos of it. This photo was made 24 hours after the ship sinked. Canon 40D, Sigma 10-20mm with Magic Filters, no strobes.
This is the turkish coastguard patrol boat "B119", just 1 minute after touchdown on its final resting place. It's the very first photo ever of this brand-new shipwreck. Still bubbles and smoke are escaping. Bad visibility, very rough circumstances.
