Delaware Water Gap "Beer Train Wreck"
Delaware Water Gap, PA
Water Type: Fresh
Entry Type: Shore
Visibility at the wreck itself was decent at 5-10’ but the wreck silted up with even a close approach to anything. Was neat to see the train cars and the progress of the rapid deterioration. We then proceed upriver and out into the basin and drifted back down where the visibility at deeper depths improved to 10-15. Current was nonexistent to slow at best as well. Clarity was better than expected. We’ll be back to drift dive under the 80 bridge to look for fish life.
