Deep boat wreck off Aguadilla for expert divers.
MV Ambar is a deep boat wreck off Aguadilla, suited only to expert divers with wreck training and decompression planning. Visibility is usually excellent, light to moderate current can move through the site, and barracuda are often seen near the wreck's upper section. Plan the dive as a full technical-style boat operation rather than a casual sightseeing drop, with conservative gas use and a controlled ascent strategy.
