Philadelphia diver beats rival to film Civil War Monitor dive
In 11 years the government allowed an underwater image of the Civil War ship Monitor. Rod Farb of Cedar Grove, North Carolina, dived the wreck off Cape Hatteras with a film crew, beating Philadelphia photographer Gary Gentile who plans a late June dive. NOAA had earlier restricted public dives but permitted Farb after reviewing safety and stability assessments.
