Anchors Aweigh.

Anchors Aweigh is a reef of coral fingers and sandy channels whose seabed is scattered with old ships' anchors. At least five identifiable anchors are embedded in the reef, so well overgrown with sponges and corals that they can be hard to spot. It is one of the popular mooring sites on St Kitts and a regular Caribbean Explorer II dive.
