Okinawa
The Okinawa is a 107-foot Army tugboat that was intentionally sunk on August 9, 2017, creating a unique artificial reef. The wreck rests in approximately 70 feet of water, with the top of the wheelhouse rising to around 40 feet. Since Hurricane Irma, the vessel has taken on a slight list of about 30 degrees, adding character and complexity to the dive. The wreck features multiple points of interest, including a mermaid statue and several sculptures placed throughout the deck. Despite its relatively recent placement, the Okinawa already supports impressive marine growth and a wide variety of sea life. The structure offers several areas suitable for penetration, making it a popular site for more experienced divers.
