Dive-site story
Located off Cooper Island, Wreck Alley consists of several deliberately scuttled vessels resting on a flat, white sand bottom within short swimming distance of one another. The site features the cargo ship Marie L, the tug Pat, the cargo vessel Island Seal, and the island freighter Inganess Bay. Because the hulls sit aligned along the sandy channel, divers can navigate between multiple distinct structures on a single tank, inspecting encrusted wheelhouses, open holds, and the schools of fish sheltering within the steel frames.
Four distinct shipwrecks accessible on a single navigation line across the sand
Expansive colony of garden eels swaying in the open sand between the hulls
Frequent southern stingrays foraging around the wreck perimeters
