Video: Exploring A Barge Wreck in Long Island Sound Near Fairfield

Ever wonder about what lies beneath the water's surface as you cool off in the water of Long Island Sound?

Scuba divers from Squalus Marine Divers decided to check out the wreckage of Kaye's coal barges this past weekend off the coast of the Town of Fairfield. The wreck lies at the bottom of Long Island Sound in more than 60 feet of water.

The divers frequently explore wrecks and other sites of interest in Long Island Sound.

Here's a You Tube video of what they saw ... crabs, lobsters, fish and of course, the timbers of the barges sunk off Fairfield's coast.
