"BUCK ISLAND COVE & CARTANZA SEÑORA
20-60’ (6-18m) Beg. This boat dive is near a rocky islet with a lighthouse, and is a favorite amongst
student divers. The 190’ freighter Cartanza Señora was sunk for a reef here in 1979, but hurricanes
have wrecked the wreck. Remnants make a great fish nursery, which is great for snorkelers."
