About this dive site

This dive site, Boboss Epave, offers a unique dual experience: a fascinating wreck exploration followed by a vibrant reef exploration. The wreck, initially a trawler, later converted into a shrimp boat, provides a captivating underwater structure for divers to explore. Navigation is straightforward, following the wreck's structure and then transitioning to the nearby reef. Information on the history and origin of the wreck is not currently available.

Marine life at Boboss Epave is diverse and abundant. Divers can expect to see white tip reef sharks, frogfish, stonefish, crocodilefish, leaf scorpionfish, barracuda, and a rich variety of macro life inhabiting the reef's two large potato-like rock formations. The reef also supports a healthy population of smaller fish and crustaceans, making it excellent for macro photography.

The best time to visit Boboss Epave is likely during the dry season, typically from May to October, when the water is clearer and calmer. While the site is not ideal for freediving due to the depth and wreck penetration, scuba divers of intermediate skill level will find it rewarding. Divers should be comfortable with wreck penetration and maintaining buoyancy control in potentially varied currents. Remember to respect the environment and all marine life encountered.
