Scuba

The Caribsea was a freighter sunk by the same U-boat as the famous U-352. The wreck is now very broken up and low-lying, but it is one of the most reliable places in the 'Graveyard of the Atlantic' to see huge schools of sand tiger sharks.

Features

A WWII freighter wreck that is now a low-profile debris field. The main reason to dive this site is the incredible number of sand tiger sharks that congregate here. It is not uncommon to see dozens of sharks on a single dive.
