About This Dive Spot
The Bianca C wreck, often referred to as the largest diveable wreck in the Caribbean, lies at a depth of 30 meters (100 feet) or deeper. This former cruise ship of the Costa line sank in 1961 following a boiler explosion that ignited a fire while it was preparing for departure. Divers can observe barracuda and schools of horse-eye jacks around the wreck. The shallower sections are adorned with coral and sponges, providing a habitat for various marine life.
