One of the most fun moments I have had since I bought an underwater camera (Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1) was a snorkeling trip in Curaçao where we visited a tug boat wreck. The boat was in shallow enough water to allow access to snorkelers and not just scuba divers. Taking pictures of this boat felt like a scene out of the titanic. And the fact that we had sailed there on a schooner (The Bounty) was just another element in a perfect day.
I also shoot video of the wreck which you can see on: Travel to Curaçao – Sailing and Snorkeling with the Bounty (part 2) – Video Episode 38.

I love snorkeling, this wreck looks like it was lots of fun to explore. Was the Bounty a replica vessel or the original?

I am pretty sure it just had the same name as the HMS Bounty as this was a sailing Schooner and I think the HMS Bounty would have been a square rigger.

Great photo! I always admire people who take to the water like fish….me? I have a paranoia of all things underwater and won’t go in above my knees!

I always wonder about the stories these wrecks could tell. Nice shot

Great shot! I just got into diving and it’s cool for me to see inspiring shots like this (while noting you were just snorkling!)
