Vulcan Bomber Wreck

Forget what you think about purpose-sunk wrecks; the Vulcan Bomber is a genuine standout, and for us, a real Nassau favourite. Yes, it’s a film prop from *Thunderball*, but that’s precisely its charm. Dropped at a shallow 12 metres, it’s a perfect multi-tank site, especially if you’ve got newer divers in the group or just want some serious bottom time without the narcosis. We love finning slowly around the fuselage, imagining Bond’s villain Largo making his escape. The sand here is often bright, reflecting the light down onto the wreck, which means colours really pop. Keep an eye out for the Mimic Blennies peeking from crevices, or the Banded Jawfish hovering near their burrows just off the wingtips. Inside, it’s surprisingly open, allowing light to filter through, illuminating the schools of Bigtooth Cardinalfish that have made it home. While it’s not a coral-encrusted behemoth, the sheer density of fish life, particularly puffers and spotted trunkfish nosing around the engine intakes, makes this a surprisingly dynamic dive. Go early to get it to yourself, before the mid-morning boats arrive.
