Diving The Mariam Express - Part 1
14 miles off the Sharjah coast there is a ship that sank not more than 3 weeks ago. Under 20 metres of water it lies on its side on the sandy seabed - The Mariam Express.An ex-cargo vessel, the Mariam Express (previously called the Delos Express) was used as a ship-on ship-off cargo vessel that I’m guessing delivered goods between the United Arab Emirates and Iran.
The reasons for its sinking are as of yet unknown, but there has been some speculation that it might be an insurance scam. Others claim that the cargo onboard accumulated on one side of the ship during rough seas causing it to capsize. I couldn’t care less what caused it to sink - I’m here for the dive. |

Hi, Jeremyboy! I like your blog site. Congrats for getting in to Southampton! I think you will have a great time there. Probably better than London, in my humble opinion!
:Lots of love
