About miss oportunity
miss oportunity is a large World War II-era wreck dive off St. Thomas that suits advanced scuba divers who want a stable wreck with easy multi-level exploration. The hull is intact enough to navigate, with open swim-throughs, a sheltered position, and plenty of structure for groupers, sharks, jacks, rays, and reef growth. It is a better wreck day than a wide-open pelagic hunt, with the interest coming from the interior passages, the big profile, and the marine life that has taken up residence on the hull.
