| PBM-3R 'Mariner' at Kwajalein Atoll... Hi everyone, With all the emails coming in from all over, regarding the 'Glen' wrecks, I almost forgot to share this series of pictures as well! Silly me...  Anyway, here's pictures I took on another recent dive I did. This is a PBM-3R 'Mariner' that lies about 3 miles west of Ebeye. Depth at this wreck is 130 feet at the level just under the wings. The -3R is a rare transport version of the PBM. There's another PBM not far from this one, which is a -5. I've seen pics of it, but haven't dived on it yet, and it has the remains of the radome behind the cockpit. Anyway, on to the -3R pics...please note that if you save these pics, the label "pbm1" has only to do with the fact that this was the first PBM I dove, not it's subtype...      The other divers in the pics are Kristi and Kevin, two of my friends. Second set in the next post... Last edited by corsairfreak; 04-28-2008 at 04:22 AM. Reason: used different tags |

| Considering she is on the bottom of the ocean for 60 years she looks in pretty good shape if you ask me.

 | Considering the age and how long that's been under water, it's in pretty good shape. Neat pics.

| Thanks guys, glad you like the pics. I'll have images up of the other PBM, as soon as I can get to where it's at to dive the wreck. Cheers! Dan |
