For many divers nothing beats the allure of a sunken wreck, offering excitement, intrigue, mystery and history all wrapped up into one dive. There are literally thousands of popular wreck diving sites throughout the world. some of these are artificial wrecks, sunk deliberately to attract divers, others are wrecks of vessels lost due to weather or due to wartime hostilities.
Luckily for Occidental Dive Vacations clients, several of our destinations offer excellent opportunities to explore wrecks suitable for both novice and experienced divers.
Occidental Grand Aruba and De Palm Tours/Unique Watersports of Aruba offer a wide assortment of excellent shipwreck and plane wreck dives ranging from World War II casualties, planes and purposefully scuttled boats, including the 400 foot long German freighter Antilla.
Occidental Grand Punta Cana and Sea Pro Divers offer wreck diving on the 300 foot long wreck of the Astro. Sunk more than 20 years ago, the wreck is now home to an immense "beehive" display of yellowtail snapper, grunts, blue tang and black durgeons.
