About this dive site

This dive site is the massive British cargo ship SS Numidia, which sank in 1901 and now rests vertically against the reef from 10 to over 80 meters. It is famous for its stunningly preserved, coral-encrusted structure and the frequent pelagic encounters in the surrounding blue water. The wreck is a world-class photography subject, completely covered in vibrant soft corals and gorgonian fans.
