Snorkeling the Wreck of the Gamma

Sunday afternoon we headed over to the far southern end of Seven Mile beach just above George Town harbor and snorkeled out to the Wreck of the Gamma. Unlike the Callie that we snorkeled with Stephanie and that is in the harbor about 20 feet below the surface, this wreck is right near the shore and is visible from the beach. It is perhaps 50 yards out from the beach and the top structure of the sunken freighter is visible above the water. This wreck can actually be snorkeled into as the top of the ship has been torn off so you swim over the side and into the ship then through it and out the other end. We should be getting our digital camera case later this week and will definitely head back and get some photos to post. We cant wait to get our underwater case and start to do the digital photos.
