From ScubaDiving.com; Just a few miles southeast of the City of Richmond is the 460’ USS Vermillion, by far the biggest draw of the Hammock Coast. Now part of the state’s artificial-reef program, the ship transported troops during WWII. Too expansive to be seen in one dive, it’s worth a return trip to fully explore this 470-foot mammoth, which rests between two hard-bottom ledges in about 140 feet of water filled with marine life from lobsters to stingrays
