Local operator required
Boat access and wreck handling make local operator guidance the practical default.
Short boat access, a wreck-on-reef layout, and clear Anguilla water make Ida Marie a straightforward wreck day.
About Ida Marie
Ida Marie is a boat-dived wreck off Anguilla that pairs an easy profile with a lively reef wrap. The wreck lies broken and partially on its side, so divers get a clear outside tour rather than a complex swim-through day. It suits basic-training divers who want steady visibility, plenty of fish life, and a local operator to handle the boat plan.
