Miami Wrecks – C-One

Originally named Christina she was built in the 1940’s and was purchased by The Department of Environmental Resources before being stripped ready for sinking.

Although novices do dive this site it is really considered an intermediate dive depending on which Miami dive center you choose to dive with. The wreck is abundant with marine life and you can expect to find barracuda standing guard in the surrounding currents.

This dive site can also vary with visibility depending on the weather however it is well worth the dive as the marine life in and around this wreck makes everything worthwhile with parrotfish, schools of snapper, angelfish and lizard fish.

This shipwreck has opportunities of penetration and you may want to extend your dive to one of the nearby wrecks such as Conception which is a 150 foot Honduran freighter just 150 feet to the north.

Terence’s Log

You will find a lot of sand built up in and around this wreck after Hurricane Andrew which did a lot of damage to numerous wrecks throughout Miami.

The wreck itself is full of marine life so you shouldn’t be surprised to meet barracuda in the wheelhouse or a nurse shark in a sheltered part of the wreck.
