About This Dive Spot

A true shipwreck lying just offshore, this 300-foot Russian vessel sank in 1979 while transporting corn to Cuba. The wreck rests in relatively shallow water with part of the structure still above the surface. Because it is so close to shore, it can be approached as a shore dive and explored as a classic wreck site with plenty of surrounding marine life.
