Wreck diving - Freeport, Grand Bahama Island | Theo's wreck | Sea Star wreck | Papa Doc wreck
Thanks to subscribe or like the video if you liked it!
Footage from my scuba diving in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island.
We dove on three shipwrecks : Theo's wreck (depth 100 ft), Sea Star wreck (depth 100 ft) and the Papa Doc wreck (depth 45 ft).
Shot with a GoPro 7 Black and a BigBlue VL 15000 Pro video light.
My favorite is definitely the Sea Star wreck with too many groupers, blue parrot fish and blue striped grunt fish to count!
The Bahamas are definitely a great spot for wreck diving with more than 40 wrecks to discover and enjoy.
Unfortunately, after the Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Theo's wreck has been torn apart and is now considered unstable.

Theo's Wreck is our oldest wreck. Sunk on purpose in 1982 it survived Hurricanes and storms such as Andrew-1993, Frances-2004, Wilma-2005, Sandy-2012.
In October 2016 Hurricane Matthew changed the shape of Theo's forever giving us a completely new dive site and way to dive and explore the wreck. This is the first video report after the storm.

A quick edit of one of the dives my wife and I did in the Bahamas. It was the first time using the GoPro while diving and I had a hard time mounting it somewhere. Because of that, it's a little shaky.
Enjoy!!
The song used in this video is Underwater by Joshua Radin and I do not claim it as my own.

Diving a Plane Wreck near O'Brien's Cay, The Bahamas Ep. 44
We have been anchored at Cambridge Cay in The Bahamas for a couple of days now. Yesterday we explored the island and journeyed over to the Rocky Dundas Caves, which were incredible! We are for sure going back on another day!
Check that video out here:
Today we went in search of a plane wreck near O'Brien's Cay that we found on the charts. We didn't know anything about it or what to expect and hoped it would be worth seeing. At first we were discouraged, because there were already dive groups in the area making it feel a little crowded, and we didn't want to be in the way. Another issue was trying to find a decent spot to drop anchor; There was a current of water flowing making us uncomfortable to leave Turtle for very long. Eventually we found a spot to anchor and were able to take the dinghy to the one and only buoy at the plane wreck, where we tied up to a boat that was already there.
The Plane was upside-down in about 15' of water surrounded by coral reefs with lots of fish. Randall had a great time diving down for a closer look and even swam through the plane! It was definitely worth seeing for sure!

Shark Alley - Pretenders Wreck - Grand Bahamas
Theo's Wreck
MV Logna was built as general cargo ship in Bergens Mekaniske Verksted, Shipyard, Norway in 1957. She transported cargo between Norway and Spain until 1969, when she was acquired by the Bahama Cement Company. In 1970 she was converted to a bulk cement carrier and she was renamed MV Island Cement. She was used to ship bulk cement between Freeport, Bahamas Fort Pierce, Port Canaveral, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and to Eleuthera and New Providence in the Bahamas. In 1980 the Company conducted an underwater survey and determined that it was not economical to perform required repairs. Instead, the ship was decommissioned and the company planned to sell her for scrap.
The company's port engineer and underwater sports enthusiast Theo (Thanassis) Galanopoulos instead persuaded the company to scuttle the ship as a dive site. After several months of preparation with the assistance of local volunteers and the issuance of a permit by the Government of the Bahamas, the MV Island Cement was towed about 1.5 miles off Williamstown, Grand Bahama Island and scuttled on 16 October 1982. The MV Island Cement became the first ship intentionally sunk as artificial reef and recreational dive site in the Bahamas; the site was named Theo's Wreck.
Theo's Wreck is 229 ft (70 m) long and 10.670 ft (3.252 m) and rests on her port side at depth of 103 ft (31 m) at MLT, and about 50 ft (15 m) feet from the island's continental shelf. It is approximately two miles offshore of Xanadu Beach Resort & Marina. Two buoys mark the location of Theo's Wreck. Since 1982, the ship has become home to much marine life.

Theos Wreck dive site is located west of Silver Point and East of Xanadu Beach, about 1.5 miles from the coast. The wreck is about 230 feet long and rest on the ocean floor on its port side, between the deep reef and the drop-off at a depth of about 101 feet. The bow points landward and the stern seaward, she rests on a flat, sandy floor, among a few isolated coral banks. The waters around the wreck are subject to currents that vary according to the tides. Since she was sunk in 1982, the ship has become home to numerous fish and is now covered with rich vegetation. The bow anchor chain, in particular, has splendid gorgonian sea fans. The shaded part of the hull is completely smothered in orange false gorgonians.
The Ship's History: Built in Norway in 1954, the M/S Logna was used to carry cargo between Norway and Spain. The Bahama Cement Company acquired it in 1969 to take sand from Fort Pierce, Florida, to Eleuthera and New Providence (Nassau). A million dollars was allocated for restructuring the ship so that it could be registered with Lloyds in 1981. However, the investment could not be amortized and the ship was decommissioned at the Bahama Cement Company dock. When the management decided to scuttle the ship in deep international waters, engineer Theopolis Galanoupoulos, an underwater sports enthusiast, suggested sinking it in shallower water as an attraction for scuba divers. The ship was towed to the designated spot, and the valves in the ballast tanks were opened on October 16, 1982.
