    Can anyone confirm or deny the rumour i heard that the Thorfinn went to the bottom and is unrecoverable?

    I googled the Thorfinn wreck and found some good news. She has been refloated and moved to a safe harbor for repairs. That is good news as she is a beautiful vessel. Evidently, her hull was built to withstand antarctic ice and was tough enough to sit on the reef. They said that the area had been blessed with unusually quiet weather (it's typhoon season there).
    I hope to dive on her in the future.

    Great news! I saw that dive boat and it looked 1st rate all the way. It would have been a very sad loss! I am sure the reef was hammered though
