San Francisco Maru
Also known as: Million Dollar Wreck · San Fransisco Maru
A cargo ship sunk by bombs in February 1944 that sits upright in deep water. Called the Million Dollar Wreck, it is famous for the light tanks on its deck and holds full of mines, bombs and trucks.
Two Ha-Go light tanks stand on the forward deck, one on top of the other, and a third stands on the port side. The holds contain mines, artillery shells, aircraft bombs, torpedoes, trucks and aircraft parts, much of which must still be treated as dangerous. A bow gun is intact, and the superstructure can be explored. Dive The World and Scuba Diver Life describe it as a dive for technical or very experienced divers. The Cousteau team dived the wreck in 1969.
