Actually shallow enough to be dived as a no-decompression nitrox dive, but this wreck deserves more bottom time. On a flat sea bed lie the metal remains of a wooden boat sunk in the last war. Possibly a Filipino boat captured and crewed by the Japanese, rather than an actual Japanese Wreck Nobody really seems sure. Though this engine block, propeller, and scattered debris cover only a small area, an amazing array of marine life is found here. Famous for a pair of curious Giant Morays, the wreck is also home to about fifty Gold Spotted Sweetlips, tame enough to touch, several kinds of pufferfish, cuttlefish,
Groupers, pipefish, and a number of interesting cleaning stations. Following a dive here it is about a five minute swim to the reef slope at the Boulders to add some interest to the decompression stops. |
