That's what I was thinking..
"The entire operation to remove the Concordia from the reef and float it to Genova, where it will be scrapped, will cost a total of £1.1billion, Costa Crociere SpA CEO Michael Tamm told reporters. "


better to let it sink 100ft down and make a brilliant scuba diving wreck

Bit deep at 100ft . What about Max depth of 70 ft at the bottom . Then it could be used as a float up bar  :cheers:

isn't it 60 odd ft tall??? 100ft isn't deep for diving. yea drops your bottom time a bit, but did plenty of 100's in the Uepi Island when I was in to Scuba.

If you go here you can track the ship... might take a while though.
