This dive site features the USS New York, a unique pre-dreadnought warship from WWI, later scuttled in WWII to prevent capture. It holds the distinction of being the only known wreck of its kind globally, making it a highly significant historical dive. Divers typically explore the exterior and accessible parts of the wreck, navigating around its large structures and historical features.
The wreck has transformed into an artificial reef, supporting a vibrant ecosystem. Divers can expect to encounter schools of spadefish and sweepers, as well as Jacks, butterflyfish, groupers, and trumpetfish, all thriving amidst the ship's structure.
Being a famous wreck, it attracts divers worldwide. The best time to visit for optimal conditions is generally during the dry season, from November to May, when visibility is often at its best. Freedivers can explore the shallower sections and superstructure, while scuba divers can delve deeper into this historical marvel.
