The World's 50 Best Wrecks

"It’s a mix of excitement, awe and respect. Some might see only rusting, rotting hulks on the ocean floor, but divers see a living reef. And they can be amazing — these ships are often important ecosystems for the creatures that inhabit them, from sharks and other big animals that patrol the perimeter to the tiniest critters like arrow crabs, which seem to set up housekeeping almost immediately. Many of us also find ourselves intrigued by the story of a ship’s sinking. The tales are gripping ones featuring heroism during battle, the raging power of nature, and unsolved mysteries. And of course, there are those purpose-sunk ships with a colorful or historic past. Whatever your reason for being a wreck aficionado, these picks are worthy of adding to your list of wanna-dive sites."

Some really pictures.
