Ray of Hope

A roughly 60-meter coastal freighter sunk in 2003 as an artificial reef, the Ray of Hope sits upright and dignified on clean sand off New Providence's southwest corner. Because she rests within the same stretch of coast as Nassau's shark arenas, Caribbean reef sharks treat her as furniture, gliding along the deck rails and through the open cargo areas while divers work the hull. Swim-throughs are wide, ambient-lit, and forgiving, making this one of the friendliest genuine wrecks in the Bahamas, and the surrounding sand often produces stingrays and garden eels between the mooring and the bow.
