The Willaurie is one of our favorite artificial reefs. It was used in the recent “Bollywood” film “Blue” which is soon to be released.
The Willaurie Wreck is a 140” former water barge resting in a semi-sand area surrounded by tongue and grove reef formations. This wreck was intentionally sunk in 1986 as an artificial reef dive site. A large amount of red and orange encrusting corals have attached to the wreck, making it vibrant in colour. The surrounding reef is made up of a variety of soft and hard coral. Schools of Cubera Snapper, Master fish and Nassau Grouper are seen here, with an occasional Turtle and Conch.
