Why dive here
With 362+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and humpback whales - MV Comberbach Wreck offers some of Long Island's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The MV Comberbach, grounded hard on the Bahamian shallows, offers a properly photogenic wreck dive. We're talking a half-submerged hull, with one side of the ship's bow exposed above the surface, breaking the waves. It’s got a real skeletal feel to it, all those exposed ribs and twisted metal. Dive down and you’ll find the rest of her spread out, creating a jagged, artificial reef. We love poking around the engine room, still remarkably intact, and watching the schools of horse-eye jacks that sometimes swarm the structure. Look closely, and you’ll spot resident lobsters tucked into every crevice, plus the occasional reef shark gliding by the deeper sections. This spot suits divers who appreciate a wreck with a story, especially those with an underwater camera keen to capture that striking half-above, half-below shot. We’d suggest going at high tide for the best visibility around the submerged parts, making that bow entry a little easier.
