Hi been busy so i have not been in here for some time.
My wife and I stayed at Reef House Resort last year to try them out, and we dove along the south side, but much further East than we had ever dove before. Down there at the South East end is a large bay, I don't recall the name but I remember two small islands called the cow and calf. there were also some old stone walls that dated back to the pirate days I was told. When I retruned to the airport we did a stop at a shop that had some maps that looked old, but I am sure they are either reproductions or just plain bogus made up maps. I attempted to buy the maps, but they only would make copies, and it was ery expensive, and we didn't have the time to get the copies made anyhow. On this map though, it indicated that were numerous very old shipwrecks in and around that bay, it even showed cannon enplacements on the islands and the shore line. This info merged with what I had been told earlier by our divemaster, about a big battle waged there many years ago between pirates, and the english. My question is, is there really a bunch of old gallions down there? And if they are there, what is left to see? I am very curious to dive on that area and see for myself. Anyone got any info?
