The Oriskany Reef is an artificial reef made from and old air craft carrier its quite a huge "wreck" I use the term loosely as it was deliberately sunk to produce a new reef environment. A look at Oriskany an artificial reef a sunken aircraft carrier off the coast of Florida.

The Oriskany reef lies off the coast of Florida and is not recommended for novice divers as by US Marine Law it has to be a minimum of 55 feet navigational clearance from the surface to allow shipping to pass comfortably over it. Having said that it is that far down you do not have to go down very far to get a good view of it.
