This dive site, known as Sailboat Deep, features the intact wreck of a 40ft sailboat. While the dive site's general maximum recommended depth is stated as 35 meters, the wreck itself lies deeper at 44 meters, requiring a DEEP specialty certification for proper exploration. All masts are gone, but the hull and propeller remain intact, offering an intriguing structure to explore as an artificial reef.
The wreck acts as an artificial reef, teeming with marine life. Divers can expect to encounter a large group of vibrant yellow snappers and schools of sardines. The surrounding sandy bottom is a hunting ground for various rays and the elusive angel sharks, making for exciting encounters with larger benthic creatures.
As a deep wreck dive, the primary highlight is the exploration of the intact sailboat and the diverse marine life it attracts. Divers should be adequately trained and equipped for deep diving. The site is best visited when conditions allow for good visibility to fully appreciate the wreck and its inhabitants, though specific seasonal recommendations are not provided.
