I'm guessing on depth - if it were just me guessing I'd say 30' - but I know I really underestimate depth. When I was out there looking for it I totally missed it - got where where I could not see bottom and was down 30 at least before I could - then it started getting dark. Fairly deep there I think!
I reconned the ice before I went it - the sheet was about 100 feet wide along my path - I had a breakwall to my left to help with navigation. Normally I could have spanned the whole length but it made me so nervous that I punched through every 30 feet or so. It was clear over the wreck - but also shifting around some.
Believe me I was totally paranoid! There is no older ice at all on the bay right now, so I wasn't worried about thick stuff getting overhead except possibly a very small area. Still freaky, and to be avoided.
I went over to Scuba North (local dive shop) and took them a new monitor. They were viewing my pictures saturday when I dropped in on an ancient 14 inch monitor. Can't have that so I gave them a surplus 19 incher I had around. Story on the wreck is - no name - it was dragged in caught in some fishing nets about 10 or so years ago. It seems to be an old fishing tug and the guy at the shop helped cut it loose. It appeared to have been scuttled but still had some gloves and other stuff that indicated how it made it's living.
Be fun to check out the Cayuga while the water is this clear. At least I'd know how deep I was diving
