THE LURE OF SUNKEN TREASURES

Beneath the aquamarine waters surrounding the Bahamas chain lies a silent fleet of shipwrecks. The vast majority of them are buried beneath the sand and reef, strewn across the sandy seabed like lost treasure. They have made the Bahamas famous, rightfully earning the sobriquet, “Wreck Capital of the Caribbean”.

There are thousands of them and most will be left undisturbed forever. But about 50 or so are accessible to divers. Most of these are scattered around the southwest coast of New Providence Island, more than 40 of them sunk over the past four decades by Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas just a short boat ride from the dock. With names like Port Nelson, Sea Trader, Vulcan Bomber, Steel Forest or Twin Sisters, they beckon to underwater explorers searching for adventure, mystery and a taste of a rich maritime history.

For pure visual impact, few underwater experiences surpass the excitement and beauty of descending into the depths and watching a ghost ship with its distinctive lines and bulk slowly but steadily materialize out of the blue, literally.
