Dive-site story
Resting upright on an expansive bed of white sand off the southern coast of Menorca, the Ocean Diver wreck is a former glass-bottom tourist catamaran intentionally scuttled to create an artificial reef. Over the decades, the hull and wheelhouse have attracted encrusting marine growth, turning the vessel into an oasis of activity amidst the otherwise open seabed.
