Exactly what kind of sunken ships I could not figure out. Only 15 ships sunk - the latter were flooded in 1982 - thirty years ago. During this time, the ships thoroughly overgrown with corals, algae and barnacles. Just can not say the specific purpose of flooding. Reefs did what? Not too small a place?

On algae, which are covered with ships - many grazing fish, some very large and thick.
