Dive Site Assessment

Eight purposefully sunk wrecks (seven within safe diving limits) lay in the north western area off mainland Anguilla. Never surveyed or assessed, these wrecks were part of a pilot study in 2017 to assess wreck condition and fish abundance, and at least form some kind of ‘delayed baseline’ for future temporal comparison. Sketches, full video swim throughs and extensive still photographs were also taken.
