About this dive site

This dive site features an exceptionally old wreck, dating back to the 1820s. It's a steel four-masted sailing ship that sank due to a fire onboard. The wreck rests on a sandy seabed and is considered a very interesting dive. Divers can expect to encounter unique native sweetlips alongside stingrays. Small groups of silver batfish and schools of Fosters barracuda are also frequently observed in this area. It’s an excellent opportunity for underwater photography.
