Cargo Wreck (18-32m)

An Indian ship that sank in 1993, and now resting on its starboard side on a sandy bottom. The propeller is at a maximum depth of 32m with the side of the ship at 18m. The wreck is completely intact and the main cargo hold can be entered safely while extensive penetration of other areas is possible for trained divers. The wreck is an oasis for marine life with schools of fusiliers, lots of anthias and damselfish, in addition to the usual reef suspects, We have also had regular sightings of tuna, spanish mackeral, eagle rays and large stingrays including our favorite "Elvis" the bullray.
