A 314-foot freighter lies hidden and unidentified beneath the Caribbean Sea
In short: Dive Detectives Mike and Warren Fletcher investigate a mysterious, massive shipwreck discovered by chance near the Caribbean island of Saba. Resting 130 feet underwater, this vessel remains a ghost ship with no known history, challenging the team to navigate dangerous seas and conduct a complex penetration dive.
The wreck was first detected in 2006 when a Dutch Navy vessel conducting routine mapping operations snagged its sensors on the structure. The ship, a 96-meter freighter, sits atop the Saba Bank, a remote coral atoll. Despite its significant size, the vessel was never reported, and local residents have no record or knowledge of its origins.
To uncover the truth, the Dive Detectives must perform a difficult penetration dive into the ship's interior. The mission is complicated by the wild, unpredictable conditions of the surrounding waters, making the exploration of this submerged mystery a high-stakes endeavor.
