American Wreck
About American Wreck
A WWII shipwreck that sank in 1945 and now lies in relatively shallow water around 30 m. The hull is broken and offers opportunities for wreck penetration, suited to divers with appropriate wreck-diver specialty training. The wreck attracts abundant marine life sheltering in and around the structure, including schooling batfish along with barracuda and snapper, and the occasional small shark.
