EVER PROSPERITY

The Ever Prosperity isn’t just a wreck; it’s a colossal, open invitation to explore. This old steamship, grounded in 1965, spans an impressive 134 metres, and our favourite part is how much of it remains accessible, even at shallow depths. We’ve spent hours weaving through the superstructure, where the sheer size of the boilers and engine room really hits you, especially with shafts of sunlight cutting through the gloom. Visibility here is often very good, letting you appreciate the scale from afar before you get up close to the detail. We love the resident batfish schools that swarm around the bow, and the smaller critters, nudibranchs and flatworms, tucked into the holds. It’s a fantastic site for photographers, with so many compositional possibilities, and because much of it sits in relatively shallow water, you get ample bottom time to really soak it all in. Just keep an eye on your buoyancy; it’s a big wreck with plenty to bump into.
