About this dive site

This dive site is located on the sandy beach of Eden Beach resort. It offers a unique diving experience, primarily focused around historical metal artifacts such as steel pipes and wreck parts rather than coral reefs. The area attracts a diverse marine population including trumpet fish, trunkfish, scorpionfish, schools of horse-eye jacks, soapfish, large groupers, and moray eels. A prominent feature is a ten-meter tugboat wreck situated on the right side of the beach; this vessel lies upside down with its bow facing northwards, ranging in depth from 24 to 28 meters. Inshore, a nursery area supports the growth of elk horns, nurtured within the resort’s dive center. Visibility is variable, but likely good due to the sandy bottom.
