Dive-site story
Resting on her starboard side in a sand channel between two reef systems, this legendary cargo ship sank in September after being seized by authorities. Tarpon constantly cruise the hull and open cargo holds, shimmering under the Caribbean sun. The ship's superstructure is encrusted with sponges, tube coral, and seafans, creating an artificial habitat that bridges the inner and outer reefs.
