About this dive site

This dive site is the ex-Patagonian Toothfish pirate vessel, scuttled in 2005 to create an artificial reef. The intact 55-meter vessel sits upright in 18 meters of water, offering numerous swim-throughs and compartments to explore. It has since become a haven for a diverse range of marine life, from large schools of fish to macro critters.
