Very Nice Shallow Wreck Site As mentioned below use caution when approaching this wreck site as one piece of this iron hulled shipwreck lies just inches under the surface. One can see the scars on this piece from pass collisions with small boats. On a rough day this wreck will expose itself in the wave troughs. Also bear in mind, You could inadvertanly strike this wreck on your approach to the Lugano Wreck Site that lies about 300 yards to the NE

Really cool wreck, with some neat crevices to see the school of fish. This shallow wreck makes a nice snorkling trip, lots of fish to check out and the wreck is interesting to look out. I will upload pictures as soon as I have them. The wreck is fairly intact for such an old wreck, defintely worth the trip. Finding the wreck is relatively easy on a clear day, the coordinates are spot on and you should see a yellow "piece" of the wreck right at the water line, zoom your GPS all the way in as you get closer so you dont park to far from it. This wreck could really use a buoy/marker because the piece sticking out could be dangerous to boats. Careful anchoring to avoid hurting corals in the area. Defintely something nice to check out if your near Sands Cut and want something to take the kids, or something else to do besides the sand bar.
