Day 07: Wreck and Relax

Coconut French Toast for breakfast, the slightly heavier bread soaked up the egg mixture well and after adding some butter and syrup it was delicious! Lounged by the pool late morning and after lunch decided we'd dive the wreck - the M/V Keith Tibbetts.
We jumped in at Buckaneer slip and used the Bladefish 5000 DPV to help take us out along the surface to the stern buoy approx. 300 m offshore. From the surface we could see the two gun turrets, we descended the stern line and began exploring the ship. We swam the full length and Gary lead the way as we navigated an inner passage through a small section of the wreck to find the large resident grouper. Saw a few barracuda, loads of garden eels and the largest french angelfish we've ever seen. The boat had many sponges and a surprising variety of fish. We made our way back to shore over the sandy bottom and spotted a Southern stingray feeding on something in the sand. Gary took off towards him and managed to get some great close ups following close behind as he and his opportunistic friend made a break for it. Spent the rest of the afternoon with our neighbours by the pool then had BBQ buffet at the Brac Reef Resort. Moving day tomorrow, we change locations to the other side of the island.
