New Providence has become a favored underwater studio for
Hollywood and boasts perhaps the greatest concentration
of wrecks. Most of these are artificial reefs on the islands
southwest corner in an area rapidly becoming known as Wreck
City. Bimini has a great deep wreck, the Bimini Barge, and
a great shallow wreck, the Sapona. There is also Grand Bahamas
famous Theos Wreck, the Hesperus, known for its dozens
of Loggerhead Turtles, and the San Jacinto off the Abacos
for divers to explore. Suffice it to say that the casual
wreck diver will find plenty of opportunities to view proud
vessels at their final resting place.
