This is arguably one of the best shipwreck dives on the planet! It sits in 35metres of clear water and is the only spot for miles that large sea creatures can take shelter. Therefore, you can spot big rays, an enormous grouper and many other underwater creatures that peacefully go about their daily lives, hardly paying any attention to the divers!
