Exactly what kind of sunken ships I could not figure out. Only 15 ships sunk - the latter were flooded in 1982 - thirty years ago. During this time, the ships thoroughly overgrown with corals, algae and barnacles. Just can not say the specific purpose of flooding. Reefs did what? Not too small a place?

Near the sunken ships are found thousands of fish can be tens of thousands. Some of them are quite tame. Feeding the fish - an interesting diversion. You can feed them bread. The water is boiling, just as many fish around. They're like piranhas Burke with a slice of bread in just a second. Do not even need a mask to consider them - the water is crystal clear, and they are right on the surface, almost jumping out of the water.
