Oro Verde (Wreck)
Originally a U.S. Army transport ship, the Oro Verde spent its last 10 years of life transporting bananas between Ecuador and Miami. It eventually ran aground in 1976 on the reef surrounding Grand Cayman, right off Seven Mile Beach.
Living in and around the wreck are nurse and reef sharks, possible eagle rays, turtles, and lots of fish: snapper, angelfish, grunts, anemones, and grouper.
