Dive-site story
The Charles L. Brown is a massive cable-laying ship resting on its starboard side off the coast of Sint Eustatius. Intentionally scuttled as an artificial reef, the intact superstructure features large open access points into cargo holds, cable drums, and passageways. Extensive colonization by colorful sponges and black corals covers the hull, creating a thriving habitat inside the marine park.
