The Wreck - 2 Dives

The Wreck was a ferry boat that transported cars from the mainland. A number of years ago, the old boat was cleaned up and intentionally sunk to create a beautiful reef that is also an easy dive for beginners. The Wreck is positioned upright in 5-11 meters of water at the southern tip of Isla Colon. The surrounding reef is brimming with snapper, sergeant major and blue tang, and a large nurse shark is often seen underneath the rear of the ship on night dives. Sightings of hogfish, spotted drum, and mangrove jellies are also common. Penetration of the wreck is NOT recommended due to extremely confined spaces and silt accumulation, but divers can peek through the old engine room window with their flashlights.
