Ahoy there, adventure seekers!

Let's dive in!

Begin your adventure aboard the luxurious Virgin Cruises ship.

The Journey Begins

Our journey starts aboard the immaculate Virgin Cruises vessel – a floating paradise that boasts world-class amenities, gourmet dining, and unparalleled service. As we set sail towards the Bahamian waters near Bimini, excitement bubbles over in anticipation of what lies ahead.

Discovering the Sapona Wreck

Upon anchoring, we transfer to a smaller boat that takes us to the legendary SS Sapona wreck. Built during World War I, this concrete ship has a fascinating history. It was repurposed multiple times – from a cargo ship to a floating casino, and finally as a rum runner during Prohibition. Now, it rests on the shallow seabed, becoming a haven for marine life and an underwater playground for explorers.

Strapped in our snorkeling gear, we plunge into the crystal-clear waters to explore the eerie, yet mesmerizing remains of the Sapona. Encrusted with corals and swarming with colorful fish, the wreck offers a unique underwater spectacle. The labyrinth of its rusted hull reveals secrets of the past, while schools of vibrant marine life dance around us, making every moment magical.

A Thrilling Twist: Shark Snorkeling

Just when you thought the adventure couldn't get any more thrilling, it's time for the ultimate adrenaline rush – shark snorkeling. Guided by experienced marine biologists and certified dive instructors, we venture to a nearby reef known for its friendly shark population.

As you slip into the water, heart pounding with a mix of fear and excitement, you're greeted by the graceful silhouette of reef sharks gliding through the water. These misunderstood creatures, often seen as menacing, reveal their true nature – curious, calm, and undeniably majestic. Under careful supervision, you get up close and personal with these incredible beings, an experience that instills awe and respect for the ocean's top predators.
