Jane C

Aruba


A cargo ship purposely sunk in the 1980s, the Jane C is now covered in coral and stands upright in 65ft to 94ft of water. It features large cargo areas that divers can swim through. Barracudas, manta rays and turtles are sometimes spotted here, but beware strong currents. Advanced divers only.
