El Ferry (Wreck)

El Ferry is one of our favourites in Bayahibe, a classic Caribbean wreck dive and a real crowd-pleaser for a reason. At just 11 metres, it's a forgiving dive, yet you're instantly in the thick of it. The 30-metre hull is draped in corals, a vibrant counterpoint to the rust, and it’s a living structure now. We love finning along the deck, peeking into the small cavities, and watching the clouds of sergeant majors and surgeonfish part as you approach. If you’re sharp-eyed, you’ll spot scorpionfish tucked into crevices and lobsters peeking from under plates of metal. The swim-through underneath, from prop to bow, is wide and easy, a neat little adventure for newer wreck divers or photographers. Visibility hovers around 12 metres, sometimes better, giving you enough clarity to appreciate the scale. We’d suggest going early to avoid the crowds and to catch the light filtering through the shallower parts, really making the corals pop. It’s an accessible, lively dive, and perfect for getting a feel for Caribbean wreck diving without the depth.
