The Astron was a massive Russian freighter that ran aground during a storm. The wreck is now broken into several pieces in shallow water, with the stern and propellers being the most interesting part. It's a huge and impressive sight.
Features
A 120m (400ft) long Russian cargo ship. The wreck is very broken up, but its sheer size is impressive. The stern section with its giant propeller is the highlight. The shallow depth makes it accessible to many divers.
