Soviet frigate wreckWreck penetrationArtificial reef

Scuba

This 330-foot long Russian-built frigate was intentionally sunk off Cayman Brac. It's the only Soviet warship diveable in the Western Hemisphere. The wreck is broken into two sections and offers excellent penetration for certified divers.

Features

A large, decommissioned Cuban naval frigate built in the Soviet Union. The wreck is broken in two by a storm but is a fantastic artificial reef, home to large groupers and barracuda. The large gun turrets are a highlight.
