I received a note from a customer and I thought this would be of interest to the wreck divers and history buffs out there.
It is the tugboat U.S. La Vallee sunk in 1931 in Lake Champlain.

Your light has made it to Lake Champlain In Vermont. I am hand holding the light with the camera while filming. I lost the diffuser for the light head, that probably would have helped with the hot spot here. I am one of less than 10 people that have dive this wreck. This is the first video footage of it.

That's an interesting piece of information you got there. I just don't get why only a few number of people have dove such historic wreck.

If you read the story you'll find that it was lost until just recently then divers from a local shop found it and they have just begun diving it in the last few weeks.
