About This Dive Spot

The wreck has been broken up and now serves as a habitat for various marine life, including numerous lobsters and small nurse sharks, which can reach up to 6 feet (2 meters) in length. Divers may also encounter schools of jacks and grunts, along with sightings of eagle rays in the vicinity.
