I had some great dives south of Jeddah a few

years ago, we brought the tanks, dive equipment and other gear as excess baggage with us since there is almost no diving support in this Red Sea area and had a great dive travel. On the other hand there is no infrastructure for diving means, if anything happen there is also no help since the beaches are always deserted except the beaches directly at the seafront in Jeddha, Saudi people, in particular women always go into the sea the body fully covered just as they walk in the street its totally contrary to Phuket beaches or other beaches where tourists are.

But not only researchers interested in the stolen property. In 1671 the Welsh pirate Henry Morgan burned Panama City but he had “bad luck”, after the looting his flagship sunk at the mouth of the Rio Chagres when crashing into a riff three other ships of his fleet shared this fate.

Now, six cannons (beginning of 2011) recovered from the river possibly come from Morgan's flagship. They care very similar in shape and size to the 17th Century used iron cannons. The guns have been recovered, cleaned and analyzed. The wreck diving is still continuing since plenty of other artifacts are still at the river bottom, two more cannons are still in the sand plus anchors and smaller items.
