HISTORY
Launched: 1957 as a general cargo ship by Jadewerft Gmbh, Wilhelmshaven and owned by Behrmann R. & W., Itzehoe
2003: seized by the US Customs Service for smuggling narcotics
October 28, 2003: In conjunction with the 2003 Dive Equipment and Marketing Association (D.E.M.A.) annual convention that was held in Miami, the G.D.D. Trader was renamed the D.E.M.A. Trader and sunk as an artificial reef off Key Biscayne.
Name History:
Alk (1957)
Martin M. (1990)
Mondia (1993)
GGD Trader (1998)
DEMA Trader (2003)
Divesite:
The wreck of the D.E.M.A. Trader rests upright and intact in approximately 80feet of water just to the north of the tug Rio Miami and to the west of the Sarah Jane artificial reef site. Large openings were cut in the sides of the superstructure to allow safe penetration into the former galley and cabin areas. Tons of concrete culvert pipes and junction boxes were also loaded into the ship’s cargo hold to produce additional complex habitat for marine life.

Great video! Like this wreck a lot. Great night dive. Now I need a dpv to enjoy the wreck treck 😁

[@InternationalScubaDiversClub]

I love the trek!! without a DPV you can do ~5 wrecks at once... but with a DPV, ALL of them!!! I'm doing a video of the trek itself, coming soon!

[@lydialeigh4]

Great wreck video, Alejandro! I wondered at the start of the video if it would be tied to the actual DEMA show - and yes, it was! Looks like a nice easy penetration too.

[@InternationalScubaDiversClub]

Very nice and easy one!!! The chance of doing it as a trek makes it even more appealing!

I owned that Ship under its Name Alk from 1986 to 1990 when I sold it to Karl Meyer KG and it was renamed "Martin- M". Before me, the vessel was owned by 1.) Rudolph Behrman and 2.) Friedrich Wolter. It was built to transport wood from Norway, Sweden and Finland to Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland and the UK and transport dry cargo goods back. It was a nice little, but save Ship, able to withstand harshest weather and could even brake ice up to 30 cm with its 390 PS 6 cyl MaK engine.

[@InternationalScubaDiversClub]

Wow! I'd love to make a quick interview and talk about the ship's story first hand a bit more! where are you based sir?

[@DmdHaui]

@@InternationalScubaDiversClub, Hello, I'm in Germany, 40 km southerly of Hamburg. If you have any questions, just go ahead. I will answer your questions as best as I can.

[@391wombat]

[@InternationalScubaDiversClub]

Oh oh! You may be true!! How could I missed that!!! Lol. What time?

[@391wombat]

Several but first one is about 3:50!

[@InternationalScubaDiversClub]

@@391wombat lol I see now... all from the same diver...

[@391wombat]

@@InternationalScubaDiversClub At least it wasn’t a true “tech dive”!

[@InternationalScubaDiversClub]

@@391wombat oh no no... this is not tech, so I guess split fins are not thaaaaaaat frowned upon! lol
