In 2003 the “lust for rust” took a huge leap forward when the TV series "Deep Sea Detectives" was broadcast on the Discovery Channel Some passionate wreck divers have made finding famous wrecks, or discovering the identity of known wrecks, into their life’s work.
What draws divers to the rusted, shattered and encrusted debris of the industrial age? Even in wrecks that had no fatalities during their sinking, the feeling of entering a forbidden place remains. Some hidden interior rooms and passage ways, are only accessible by divers, existing far from the reach of robot cameras and remotely operated vehicles.
