Why dive here
With 367+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Theo s Wreck offers some of Abaco's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 24-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Theo’s Wreck, just off Abaco, is a purpose-sunk freighter sitting upright and mostly intact. We’ve found it’s a really approachable wreck dive, easy to navigate through the cargo holds and around the wheelhouse, even for those newer to wreck penetration. You’ll usually spot southern stingrays on the sand nearby, and schools of grunts drift through the superstructure. It makes for a relaxed afternoon dive, often with good visibility, letting you really appreciate how the coral has started to take over the old ship.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
