The Sea Emperor
| Depth: |
45'-70' |
Experience: |
Open Water |
The shallow draft barge loaded with concrete pipe and debris heeled over as she sunk and scattered the cargo around the bottom where she lay upside down.
The Sea Emperor lost her load of concrete culverts as she listed while
on her
final approach to her final resting place. These concrete pipes are home
to a number of critters that have taken up residency on the Sea Emperor.
There are 2 green Morey eels, a plethora of Sting rays, a pair of 400lb
Goliath Groupers, and some nurse sharks that inhabit this wreck. In addition
to the local residents, you can often see turtles and schools of fish,
especially yellow tail snappers. You can also follow the trail of rocks
that leads to another wreck called the United Caribbean.
