Dive into the sunken pirate city of Port Royal

Yes, an actual historical pirate city! Yes, sunken! Unbelievable, we know, but it’s 100% true. Port Royal was a very famous city in the 1600s. Controlled at one point of time by the Spanish, it was later conquered by the English under the rule of Cromwell. However, the city always remained a city of pirates. Plagued by debauchery and general acts of violence, the city generated a lot of notorious fame. In the year 1692, a major earthquake hit the city. The ground split open and most of the city went underwater along with its residents. Today, the city ruins lie up to 40 feet under water and can be explored by scuba diving. This is one of the most authentic wreck diving experiences in the world. Divers get to see monuments, boats, and several other submerged structures from the time of the earthquake.
