Home of the USS Oriskany!
(And a whole lot more great dive sites too!)
Pensacola is the final resting place for the former USS Oriskany CV/CVA 34. At 911 feet long, 157 feet wide, and over 150 feet tall, She is the largest vessel ever sunk as an artificial reef. We are honored to get this opportunity and look forward to creating a unique and rewarding dive experience for generations to come!
Deployment was completed on May 17th, 2006.
She's upright on the bottom. Depth to the top of the ship is 69', and the flight deck is at 135. There's plenty to see above 100' making her a great dive for all skill levels! USS Oriskany Dive Charters are running daily, and we can accommodate groups or individuals. Coordinates for the Island - N30:02.542 W87:00.374
