Explore the Underwater Relic of a 1935 Hudson Terraplane #

Immerse yourself in an extraordinary dive experience as you explore the remains of a 1935 Hudson Terraplane, an automotive relic that met its watery fate after falling through the ice. This unique site not only offers a glimpse into the history of early automobiles but also features stunning natural formations, including cavern-like overhangs and rock structures that add to the allure of the dive.

Access #

This intriguing dive site is conveniently accessible from the shore, with parking available near the road. After parking your vehicle, head towards the water and swim approximately 100 feet to the right (north) to reach the submerged 1935 Hudson Terraplane, resting in about 25 feet of water. Divers should exercise extreme caution and avoid touching the vehicle, as it is extremely fragile.

For those looking to extend their underwater exploration, swimming to the left (south) towards the bowl-shaped bay will lead you to cavern-like overhangs submerged in 40 feet of water. Continuing straight out (west) will take you into deeper waters, where further discoveries await. The site is also a known treasure trove for old bottles, adding an element of historical treasure hunting to your dive.

Dive Conditions #

Visibility at this site is generally around 15 feet in shallower areas, with the water becoming clearer as you descend to greater depths, although it may also become darker. The water temperatures remain perpetually cold, so appropriate thermal protection is essential to ensure a comfortable dive.

The Miner’s Bay dive site offers a unique combination of historical intrigue, natural beauty, and the potential for underwater treasure hunting. However, it is crucial to approach the site with care, particularly around the delicate remnants of the Hudson Terraplane. Dive respectfully and enjoy the captivating underwater world that Miner’s Bay has to offer.
