Not quite Jules Verne stuff but I hope you find this story amusing. I was on the Island of Gozo off Malta when I went down to the Karwena Ferry that had been sunk to make an artificial reef. When it was sunk there was no vehicles on it. On the opening dive they found a VW Bug had mysteriously appeared on the deck Me Narrating this story to ya first we had to scuba out along the shelf before it drops down to 40m on the sea bed then once over the shelf and above the wreck we descended down to the wreck At 24m down you come to the ferry mast then descended furthe to around 30m to the deck and behold at the rear a VW Bug i80.photobucket.com/albums/j167/killercowell/012VWHANDSIGNALByefornow.jpg[/IMG]and then me giving the VW hand signal before ascending, under control

Cheers guys for your feedback, will take your advice on the short article, will be contacting some vw mags in the next few days, plus spoken to my 2 photographer mates who took the photos for publishing rites. I usually write to C&C but its not really a bus thing so Ultra VW or VoksWorld may run the story . . . suprised they havn't already. Finally thanks again for the feedback. Arrived back in Blighty yesterday Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
