The ocean is vast and full of thousands of sunken treasures waiting to be discovered. Among all these treasures, underwater wrecks are certainly the most popular among divers from around the world. Wreck diving is a feeling like no other, a mixture of excitement, admiration and respect. For those who only see a carcass rusting at the bottom of the ocean, divers see it as a living reef where life is gradually becoming a refuge for many marine species. Sharks, grouper, seahorses and many others take advantage of the hospitality of the place to settle there. An underwater wreck also has a history shaped by legend, by nature of the elements, by its sinking. For all these reasons, whether you are a lover of wrecks or a mere curious, as a diver, do not miss out on these fabulous dive sites. Let’s discover together the best wreck dives in the world.
