Dive the S.S. Sapona Shipwreck: Snorkel & Reef Sharks

Finesse your way through the partially submerged hull of the legendary S.S. Sapona — a concrete ship built for Woodrow Wilson, now a reef teeming with marine life. Then feed ultra-friendly stingrays and, if you dare, swim with reef sharks.

What to expect

You board a purpose-built dive boat and head to the eerie, half-submerged silhouette of the Sapona, a concrete-hulled vessel that has rested in these waters since a 1926 hurricane. Snorkelers explore the shallow reef ecosystem flourishing inside and around the wreck while certified divers can descend deeper. A second stop brings the signature stingray feed — velvety creatures gliding over your hands — followed by an optional reef shark encounter for the truly adventurous. Neil Watson's team balances thrill with expert safety briefings throughout.

Good to know
