Astron Shipwreck, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Something a bit different .... this is the 'Astron' which ran aground in the shallows in the early 1980's. Since then the whole coast has been turned into a resort area and you can see the wreck off the beach opposite the Bahia Principa Hotel, Punta Cana. Thanks to Jeff for the sunset and underwater photos. As you can see our boat got a bit close..... :neutral:

Wow, I've never seen an underwater explore before, well done

Ships propellers have always scared me, I once stood behind a ship in a dry dock and i didn't like it
