The Sugar Wreck, off the West End of Grand Bahama, is an all-time favorite of many divers because of its abundant fish life. Congregations of snappers, grunts, wrasse, gobies, angelfish and parrotfish are everywhere on the wreck. Also several large Puffers, the biggest Parrotfish I’ve seen so far. Let’s just say there was tons and tons of fish life!! Including the dreaded Lionfish!
The remains of an old sailing ship that grounded many years ago, the Sugar Wreck is only 20 feet deep. Catch the current wrong and its almost impossible to dive. Had to basically crawl along the bottom as well as have my friend pull me along!
