    Navy Barges Print E-mail

     

     

    The only thing better than diving on a coral encrusted hundred foot long sunken barge, complete with fish filled channels and swim throughs, is diving on two, in one dive! The Navy Barges were floating accommodations for US troops during WWII. After the war, the navy sunk the barges in approximately 40 feet on a sandy bottom. Did you ever see fish living upside down? Well, look up carefully as you explore the nooks and crannies of these amazing artificial reefs. After you look up, look to the sides for turtles, parrot fish, and look down for octupus and lobsters.  Maybe even look out into the sand for a stingray or two. From June through September, large nurse sharks are found around the wreckage giving birth to their young while Sergeant Major diligently guard their purple-colored egg patches to prevent the next generation from being eaten by hungry predators.
