Protected Area
Peterson Cay National Park
Why dive here
With 367+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Sea Star II Wreck offers some of Abaco's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 24-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sea Star II wreck off Abaco is a decent dive, a small freighter intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef. She sits upright, pretty much intact, offering some easy penetration for those who like to poke around inside a wreck. We’ve seen plenty of schooling snapper hovering over the decks, and the occasional nurse shark cruises by. It’s a good spot for a second dive, relatively shallow, and suits divers looking for a relaxed wreck exploration rather than a challenging current drift. Think of it as a comfortable home for marine life, not an epic historical site.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
