Cartanza Wreck
★★★★☆
(301)
Beginner wreck dive where divers will see a small shipwreck of the Cartanza, which is broken into three pieces. Max depth on the wreck is 41 feet, with option to explore deeper reef extending to 60 feet. Many divers and snorkelers enjoy shipwreck cove as it is protected from wind, and there are many moorings.
Spotted moray eels, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, and Caribbean reef sharks are commonly seen here. Arrow crabs nestle themselves into the cracks on the wreck.
