Balboa (Wreck)
★★★★★
(28)
The remains of this shattered skeleton of a 375ft ship wreck sank 1932 from a hurricane while carrying lumber. Because of its location in the main port of Georgetown, it was blown up and sunk to allow container ships to pass over the wreck. This dive site needs permission from Port Security to dive it.
Lots of macro life to see but also many trunk fish, angel fish, sergeant majors and lobsters call this wreck home.
