Shipwreck Snorkel Safari: Explore Ocean Cay's Sunken Fleet

Fin through crystal-clear Bahamian water above deliberately sunk vessels now teeming with coral and reef fish. This guided marine-reserve snorkel is the definitive bucket-list moment at Ocean Cay — an underwater gallery you simply cannot see from the beach.

What to expect

You'll be kitted out with quality mask, fins, and a life vest before your certified guide leads the group across the calm lagoon to the wreck sites. The sunken hulls are draped in staghorn coral and soft sponges, and visibility regularly exceeds 30 feet. Your guide points out resident species and explains the reef-restoration mission behind the deliberate sinkings. The tour runs approximately 1.5–2 hours, leaving plenty of island time afterward.

Good to know

Book directly via the Ocean Cay excursions desk as soon as boarding is open — this sells out every call. Wear reef-safe sunscreen only (the marine reserve enforces this). All-aboard times are typically early evening; the tour wraps well within the window.
