About this image
As I swam along the sandy bottom in the crystal clear waters of Grand Cayman, looming 50 feet above me was this huge vessel.
The USS Kittiwake (ASR-13) was a United States Navy Chanticleer-class submarine rescue vessel in commission from 1946 to 1994. Kittiwake was decommissioned on 30 September 1994 and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on the same day. Her title was transferred in November 2008 for an undisclosed amount to the government of the Cayman Islands for the purpose of using Kittiwake to form a new artificial reef. Originally intended to be sunk in June 2009, it was finally sunk off Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman on 5 January 2011 in a Marine Park. At its most shallow, the Kittiwake is 15 feet below the surface of the water and at its deepest, 64 feet below the surface.

What my clients say
I ordered the materials for my project here, and everything went smoothly. Very professional. Good prices and better materials. ✅👏🏼
My wife and I were looking for photos of places we have been to showcase within our home, highlighting some of the adventures that we had been on together. Adam had coincidentally been to a few of the places that we have recently seen. His eye for photography and capturing scenes that we had been to in person are superb! Looking forwards to more adventures with my wife, and seeing Adam's perspective on what those places show.
From the time of purchase Adam kept me up to date on the status of my order. The frame I originally wanted was on back order, but he was able to help me choose a similar frame. The print and frame are beautiful! I would recommend his company.
