 The Bayronto is a 400
foot freighter sitting upside down in 100 feet of water with
her keel extending upwards to 80 feet. She was sunk in a
hurricane in 1919. The wreck is broken in half about mid-ship
with the stern section held higher by the wheelhouse,
resulting in a large cavernous type entrance into the stern
section.Be prepared to share this wonderful dive
exploration with a very large population of Goliath Grouper
like the one in the photo here taken by Rich Novak. The hull
of the ship is covered with both hard and soft corals
attracting many species of fish both large and small.
An October 2003 dive brought about an incredible
interactive encounter with a 22-24 foot Whale Shark. |
