Islands and a shipwreck from 1867. Along the mainland you will see cliffs, caves, beautiful waterfront homes and often Eagles.
Our boat allows us to get up real close to the islands and lighthouses where we stop so you can get great photos. As divers we know the shipwrecks in this area and can position the boat right over the wreck which you can see from our boat. Using our Humminbird Side Scan Sonar we can also show you images of deeper wrecks too.
