Ms Mikhail Lermontov Wreck

This dive site presents the wreck of the Russian cruise liner MS Mikhail Lermontov. The upper portion of the wreck is accessible to open water divers, reaching a depth of 12 meters. For those seeking deeper exploration, various areas extend down to 34 meters, suitable for technical diving expeditions. This location benefits from abundant marine life due to its status as a voluntary no-take area; blue cod are particularly noticeable and known for their friendly and curious behavior. Caution is advised: a navigational buoy is present on the wreck site – please avoid using it as a mooring point. The dive area is exposed to currents originating from Cook Straight, so conditions can vary considerably. Experience in boat diving is recommended for divers planning to explore this site.
