Which Shipwrecks and Dive Destinations Does Wreck Diving Magazine Cover?

Wreck Diving Magazine covers a mix of named shipwrecks and wreck-diving regions, pairing historical background with a diving perspective. Based on the topics listed on wreckdivingmag.com, its coverage spans famous recreational wrecks such as the President Coolidge and SS Pommerania, intact historic vessels like the "Dunkirk Schooner," and destination-focused features on Truk Lagoon, Bermuda, Sweden's Öland Island, and the Great Lakes. Use this as a reading guide if you want to match articles to wrecks or regions you plan to dive; the site does not present itself as a dive operator or trip-booking service.

Named shipwrecks featured

The site's issue and article listings name several specific wrecks, each framed around a historical angle:

• President Coolidge — described as "the world's largest wreck you can dive from shore," with a note that it "turned 75." This is a shore-accessible wreck, useful for divers who want a large site without a liveaboard.
• SS Pommerania — presented through the story of its captain, who "went down with the ship" after helping passengers to safety. The framing is historical narrative rather than a dive plan.
• Emperor of Isle Royale — listed as "Lake Superior's Isle Royale National Park shipwreck," tying the wreck to a specific national park setting.
• The "Dunkirk Schooner" — a "fully intact, 2-masted schooner from the 1700s resting upright in Lake Erie," covered as a mystery.
• The Russia — a "110-year-old Great Lakes Shipwreck mystery solved."
• Dreadnoughts — a series ("In The Wake of Dreadnoughts," Part 1) about "the battleship that made all other battleships obsolete."

These titles suggest the magazine treats wrecks as both dive sites and historical subjects, so readers can use an article to learn a wreck's story before or after diving it.

Dive destinations and regions covered

Beyond single wrecks, the site groups content by region:

This mix is useful if you are choosing a destination: the Baltic/Öland entry points to well-preserved wooden wrecks, while Truk Lagoon and Bermuda point to warm-water wreck diving, and the Great Lakes entries point to cold, freshwater sites.

History and media angles

Some coverage connects wrecks to broader media and research projects:

• A "behind-the-scenes look at the top-rated National Geographic International TV series: Drain The Oceans."
• A note that editor Joe Porter / WDM "consults for the popular TV show Hawaii Five-O."
• The Shipwreck Exploration Society (SES), a nonprofit the magazine created to fund exploration, with a stated project to locate a B-17 that crashed off the coast of Germany in WWII.

If your interest is wreck history and exploration rather than only dive logistics, these items indicate the magazine's editorial focus.

How to use this as a reading or dive reference

• Match article to site: pick the named wreck (e.g., President Coolidge for a shore dive, Emperor for Isle Royale) and read the corresponding feature for context.
• Shortlist regions: use the destination list to compare warm-water wreck areas (Truk Lagoon, Bermuda) against cold freshwater sites (Lake Erie, Lake Superior) and the Baltic.
• Check access format: the site states Issue 46 is "now available online" as a digital edition through zinio.com, delivering the same material as print plus video, audio, and live links on iPad, desktop, and laptop. The site also shows "Subscribe Today" prompts, but the provided page evidence does not list prices or confirm free access, so verify subscription terms on the site before assuming cost or login requirements.

The site does not publish a complete, itemized index of every wreck it has covered, so treat the titles above as the featured examples rather than an exhaustive catalog.
