Anguilla's turquoise waters boast seven marine parks: Dog Island, Prickley Pear, Seal Island Reef System, Little Bay, Sandy Island, Shoal Bay Harbour Reef System and Stoney Bay Marine Park. Dive sites include wreck dives, shore dives, mini wall dives, night dives and heritage diving. From the P.A.D.I. Travel Network: Anguilla is known for its intentionally sunk shipwrecks, artificial reefs that provide for the enjoyment of scuba divers. The island is home to a truly unique attraction, a 960-ton Spanish galleon [El Buen Consejo] that rests quietly on the ocean floor with her cannons and cargo serving as a silent testament to the Caribbean's turbulent past. The site is an award-winning underwater park [Stoney Bay Marine Park] open to certified scuba divers. Anguilla also boasts a healthy double reef system, where a wide variety of corals flourish. Anguilla's dive shops are manned and operated by seasoned professionals who pride themselves on doing what they love every day: introducing divers ranking from novice to experienced to Anguilla's fascinating dive sites. Anguillian Divers and Shoal Bay Scuba provide a varied menu of dives, diver services, equipment rentals, specialized tours and P.A.D.I. Certification, along with other certificate courses. Several hotels, villas and apartment properties have teamed with Anguilla's dive shop operators to offer special Dive Anguilla Packages. Stoney Ground Marine Park is Anguilla's first underwater heritage site. A natural wreck of the late 18th Century Spanish Crown vessel, El Buen Consejo. Public dive tours of the site are available on a limited basis through Shoal Bay Scuba and Watersports. Tours are fully guided and begin with a video and presentation on the site's history. The underwater collection includes a display of 10-foot canons, anchors, bronze devotional medals and other historically significant artifacts. Wreck of the M.V. "Commerce" has a depth 40-80 feet.
