Jane Sea Wreck
Malmok · Aruba
A 60 m cement carrier deliberately sunk in 1988 as an artificial reef off the southwest coast of Aruba near Savaneta. The ship sits upright with the deck at 22 m and the sandy bottom at 30 m. Hard corals have colonized the hull over decades, and a large school of silversides typically fills the engine room. The site is known for reliably large nurse sharks resting in and around the holds, and for dense congregations of glassy sweepers in the cargo bay. A penetration route through the engine room is accessible to divers with overhead environment training.
