Hi,
My first post here. Congrats on this great collection.
I have 4 more (2 of them which I've dived / snorkeled) off the coasts of Venezuela, Ecuador and Chile. As far as the program tells me, none of them have been marked by the community yet.
Cheers
EDIT: 4 more wrecks added in Anguilla, Honduras and Oregon
EDIT: Added the Otavi wreck in Namibia

Hi again,
I have added the wreck of the "Otavi" in the post above this one. While not on the Skeleton Coast, it sits in a similar setting in Namibia. It turns out that there are significantly less wrecks in the Skeleton Coast than in some other places, such as the coast of Mauritania. In fact, I haven't been able to locate any more. If anybody wants to give it a try, here are some handy maps and photos of the sites:

Good luck!

Found information on one of the wreaks at (8 42 02 N 171 13 18 E)

This is the one that got me looking for them in this area, never found another with such detailed information.

Here are another 2 wrecks in the river leading to Um Qasr in Iraq.
The discoloration of the water is the current kicking up the sand from the seabed.
I have some close up photographs of these if anyone is interested.
