About Epave du Gustavia (Wreck)
Epave du Gustavia (Wreck) is an advanced boat dive on an upright freighter that was cleaned up and sunk as an artificial reef. It sits on sand offshore and rewards experienced wreck divers with sponge growth, colorful fish, and barracudas, but the depth and overhead nature make it a serious charter dive rather than a casual sightseeing stop. Clean buoyancy, disciplined gas planning, and a controlled plan matter more than bottom time.
