Description:
From the P.A.D.I. Travel Network: "Anguilla is known for its intentionally sunk shipwrecks, artificial reefs that provide for the enjoyment of scuba divers. The island is home to a truly unique attraction, a 960-ton Spanish galleon [El Buen Consejo] that rests quietly on the ocean floor with her cannons and cargo serving as a silent testament to the Caribbean's turbulent past. The site is an award-winning underwater park [Stoney Bay Marine Park] open to certified scuba divers. Anguilla also boasts a healthy double reef system, where a wide variety of corals flourish." | |
