Nahoon Shipwreck
Nahoon Shipwreck: a clear-water Caribbean wreck dive.
Moored deep-wreck dive off Martinique with warm clear water, coral growth on the hull, and a short boat ride from Anses d'Arlet.
About Nahoon Shipwreck
The Nahoon Shipwreck is a deliberately sunk steel-hulled wreck in Martinique's warm Caribbean water, now an artificial reef with an intact profile, accessible holds, and a classic deep-wreck loop. It suits experienced scuba divers who want a moored boat dive, clear water, and reef life on the hull and deck rather than a shallow sightseeing pass.
