What can you do with a ship that has to be retired? Why not scuttle it and provide the framework for a new artificial reef? That’s what happened to the Carib Breeze and the Tropic Breeze, two 200 ft oil tankers donated by Shell oil company. Both Breezes were sunk more than 10 years ago off the southwest coast of New Providence. Schools of fish wasted no time in making the twin sisters their home, and scuba divers weren’t far behind, thanks to Bahama Divers and Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas.
At the Willaurie wreck, divers can see schools of Nassau grouper, Cubera snapper and many other colourful fish, plus occasionally a sea turtle. The Willaurie has also become known as an excellent site for taking photos of shrimps, arrow crabs and file clams.
Other artificial reef wreck sites include the Steel Forest–the final resting place of three different ships–and the Bahama Mama, a retired 45-ft mail boat that has been featured in many movie and magazine shoots.
