Video: Watch Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas Sink a Ship for Wreck Diving

While some shipwrecks find their way to the bottom of the ocean in more tragic ways, many are sunk on purpose to help marine life flourish and to give divers a new site to explore.

Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas added a new dive site nearby called the Adrianna, a wreck that was sunk in 50 to 60 feet of water earlier this year. Check out the video above to see how the ship was sunk and what it's like to dive a newly sunk vessel.

Adrianna joins three other wrecks at the same site — the Sea Viking, the Monique and the Alfredo. All four wrecks are in a line along the Tongue of the Ocean — a deep trench that separates the islands of Andros and New Providence — and can be dived together. The Adrianna vessel was formerly seen in a canal at Coral Harbor and is named after former Dive Bahamas staff member Adrianna Hutchinson.
