Wreck Trek Overview
Depth Range: 60 to 115 feet
Experience Level: Advanced to Expert
Sunk March 3, 1986
The Thunderbolt was a 188 foot long cable laying work boat with a 37 foot beam. The Thunderbolt was finally sunk on March 3, 1986, in 115 feet of water.
Today the Thunderbolt sits upright and intact just south of Vaca Cut. Divers can see her two bronze propellers, enormous cable lying spool, penetrate into her wheel house or just marvel at the diversity and abundance of marine life that have found their home on this scuttled shipwreck.
