The Sugar Wreck is a fantastic sunken ship sitting in 15' of water. It is literally covered with life, and makes for a fantastic dive. We dove it once at dusk, and twice at night. At night, it's easy to spot flamingo tongue nudibranchs and Orangeball Corallimorphs, and because it's so shallow, you can stay down for a long, long time. :)
