Diver's Notes

Wonderful warm tropical dive on wreck USS Tucker in Santo. Wreck was sunk by own mine in WW2 and then used for bombing practice so is broken in pieces, but still lots to see and great tropical fish.

3mm shorty suit

Quote from Esporito Santo Tourism Association: Struck by friendly mines, the USS Tucker was a US Destroyer resting in about 20 metres of water. The wreck is spread along the sea bed making it possible to swim from stern to bow stopping at "wreck bomies" along the way.
