Tugboat



It's actually a pilot boat, not a tugboat, but who cares - this is the Caribbean, not the Library of Congress.

The small boat sits in about 12 feet of water and is a popular snorkeling site. Lots and lots of vacationers throw lots and lots of bread into the water to create a fish feeding spectacle (one that is not endorsed by this website, I might add). None the less, the huge quantity of fish makes this site a fun place to jump in.

A wall, on top of which the boat sits, drops off to around 900 feet. Most of the diving takes places alongside this wall, between 40 and 90 feet deep.

By the way, this was Bri's first dive after being certified (she's the one in the bright yellow hood).
