We have a lot of historic wrecks here. 2 u-boats that are diveable(u-352 & u-85) and one that is kinda not worth the trip(u-701) We have many freighters that were sunk here during the war ..the caribsea was sunk by u-158 and is in about 85fsw and is now known as the "shark dive"..close by is the Atlas Tanker which was sunk by the u-552 and is in similar depth...also a good dive. The Papoose, Proteous, Naeco, and others are also great dives...all in all we have about....um...well we have a bunch of wrecks Let me know if you have any more questios.

Caribsea and Atlas Tanker are cool wrecks man. I am not too comfortable with the great whites tho. What safety precautions can you take when you dive in shark waters? I dont wanna come out with one limb missing you know what I am saying?

The sharks here aren't great whites...lol. Just Atlantic Sand Tigers and they don't give you much of a second look As for aircraft wrecks, I have heard rumors of an F4U around one of the wrecks but can't find anyone that has actually seen it. If you somehow find out, let me know, I would love to see it.
