Yup.
"...In December of the same year, Bernard and Severson returned with the St.Jude, a 110 ft dive platform and one Newtsuit. The Newtsuit is a one atmosphere armored diving suit that looks like a suit of armor on steroids. Along with rescuing a lost ROV, Fuoco, the man in the suit, was supposed to survey the wreck site. Getting tangled himself, he had to be rescued by another open circuit diver by the name of Curt Newman. Once that task was accomplished Newman got to do a bit of survey himself. The site overwhelmed him.
In June of 1992, Bernard hired Delta Oceanographic of LA. The owned a 17 ft, two man submersible which could easily handle the 3 knot currents which swept the wreck. They noticed the stern section was about 30 ft aft of the collision point, broke completely apart when she sank and hit stern first. The stern was laying on its starboard side. The submersible’s arm was able to collect various artifacts including an 80-pound bronze steam whistle and pulley..."
