The Shipyard, this fabulous dive bottoms out at about 95 feet of sea water. This site features 3 inter-island freighters built in the Far East then imported into The Bahamas about 30 years ago; all sunk within just a few years of each other. One, “The Anellis”, was lost during the great a great storm after striking the reef off of Cabbage Beach. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured during the accident, and minimal damage was done to the reef. The steel hull of this wreck is about 200 feet long and came to rest at a perfect diving depth.

The other tow were confiscated by the Royal Bahamian Defense Force for smuggling and intentionally sunk as an artificial reef. You can find schools of colorful wrasse and shy Big Eyes nestled among the wrecks. This site also features many different tropical fish, with on occasion rays and sharks. Bouyancy control is stressed as this dive also features the beautiful Lion fish, which should not be disturbed.

These wrecks are physically no more than 10 feet apart on the ocean floor. We do them as one fantastic dive. Come see it just for fun or work on your wreck diver certification in the process.
